(AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden<\/a> told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a> on Monday the U.S. will send badly needed air defense weaponry once the Senate approves a massive national security aid package that includes $61 billion for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelensky said in a posting on X that Biden also assured him that a coming package of aid would also include long-range and artillery capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine is awaiting U.S. Senate approval after the House<\/a> this weekend approved the $95 billion package<\/a> that also includes aid for other allies. It comes after months of delay as some Republican lawmakers opposed further funding for Ukraine and threatened to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.,<\/a> if he allowed a vote to take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyiv badly needs new firepower as Moscow has stepped up its attacks against an outgunned Ukraine. The Senate is expected to vote on the package this week, and Biden has promised to quickly sign it into law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelenskyy said he and Biden also discussed \u201cRussia\u2019s air terror using thousands of missiles, drones and bombs\u201d including a strike on the Kharkiv TV tower just minutes before they spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRussia clearly signals its intention to make the city uninhabitable,\u201d Zelenskky said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia has exploited air defense shortages in Kharkiv,<\/a> Ukraine\u2019s second-largest city, to pummel the region\u2019s energy infrastructure<\/a> and harm its 1.3 million residents. Some officials and analysts warn it could be a concerted effort by Moscow to shape conditions for a summer offensive<\/a> to seize the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House in a statement confirmed that Biden told Zelenskyy \u201cthat his administration will quickly provide significant new security assistance packages to meet Ukraine\u2019s urgent battlefield and air defense needs as soon as the Senate passes the national security supplemental and he signs it into law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Biden also underscored that the U.S. economic assistance will help maintain financial stability, build back critical infrastructure following Russian attacks, and support reform as Ukraine moves forward on the path of Euro-Atlantic integration,\u201d according to the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, a bipartisan delegation of U.S. Congress members on Monday met with Zelenskyy in Kyiv. The delegation included Reps. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, Bill Keating, D-Mass., and Madeleine Deane, D-Pa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kean told reporters \u201cwe know that the needs of Ukraine are urgent\u201d and U.S. aid is \u201ccrucial to stem the tide of Russia\u2019s assaults.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kean said Biden should use the authority in the bill to quickly deliver to Ukraine the weapons that it has requested, including the longer-range Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelenskyy said that he discussed with the U.S. lawmakers Ukraine\u2019s need for artillery shells, long-range missiles, electronic warfare equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles, combat aviation and support in developing the Ukrainian defense industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also discussed Ukraine\u2019s bid to eventually join NATO, U.S. participation in an international conference in Switzerland in June<\/a> aimed at charting a path toward peace in Ukraine, and other issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
