Biden signs $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan  - VOA News #shorts.

President Joe Biden signed into law the $95 billion war aid measure that includes assistance for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. VOA’s Misha Komadovsky has more.

He said the new assistance, aimed at helping Ukraine fight Russia’s two-year invasion and Israel to fight Hamas militants and fend off airstrikes from Iran, is “going to make America safer. It's going to make the world safer. And it continues America's leadership in the world.”

Biden said that within hours, the U.S. would begin shipments of air defense munitions, artillery for rocket systems and armored vehicles into Ukraine to help Kyiv’s fighters in a war with Moscow that has largely stalemated on the eastern Ukraine battlefront.

He said the U.S. would ship munitions from its own stockpiles, then replace those with new munitions manufactured in the United States.
