Biden administration races to save billions in Ukraine aid as deadline looms
The effort comes at a high-risk moment for Ukrainian forces, who are advancing into Russia's Kursk region while trying to hold off Russian forces
US President Joe Biden's administration is engaged in urgent discussions with Congress to allow it to use up $6 billion in military aid for Ukraine before a Sept. 30 deadline, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
The effort comes at a high-risk moment for Ukrainian forces, who are advancing into Russia's Kursk region while trying to hold off Russian forces threatening the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk.
The Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), a key component of a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine passed in April, allows the president to transfer defense articles and services from US stocks in response to emergencies.
