His statement was timed to coincide with the announcement of the next tranche of aid to Ukraine.

“With this aid package, the total amount of military support for Ukraine since the beginning of this administration has amounted to approximately $10.6 billion,” Blinken was quoted by the State Department as saying.

He added that about 50 other countries are providing assistance to Ukraine.

Biden previously ordered a $775 million military aid package for Kyiv.
