US President Joe Biden proposed a huge $33 billion package for arming and supporting Ukraine, saying that caving into Russia is not an option for the West as the war stretches into the third month.
Biden also outlined proposed new laws to allow using luxury assets stripped from Russian oligarchs under unprecedented sanctions to compensate Ukraine for the destruction wreaked by the invading Russians.
He acknowledged the dramatic costs of US backing for Ukraine but said there was no real choice in the struggle with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He pushed back against increasingly heated claims by Russian officials and state media that Moscow is fighting the entire West, rather than only Ukraine.
