00:00U.S. President Joe Biden today formally signed off on a $95 billion foreign aid measure aimed

00:09at helping Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

00:13The official signing comes after months of consideration in the Senate and House of Representatives.

00:20I'm making sure the shipments start right away.

00:25In the next few hours, literally in a few hours, we're going to begin sending equipment

00:30to Ukraine for air defense munitions, for artillery, for rocket systems and armored

00:36vehicles.

00:37You know, this package is literally an investment, not only in Ukraine's security, but in Europe's

00:44security.

00:47Long term, it remains uncertain if Ukraine, after months of infrastructural damage and

00:53losses in the eastern region of the country, can make enough progress to sustain American

01:00support.
