The United States said Thursday it would provide more than $1 billion in humanitarian assistance for people affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The funds will help provide food, shelter, clean water, medical supplies and other assistance, the White House said.
The money comes as US President Joe Biden meets with Eurpean Leaders and works to determine the next phase of the response to Russia’s war.
In addition, the White House said it would stand up a $320 million fund meant to bolster democracy in countries bordering the European Union, including funding for human rights, independent media and anti-corruption initiatives.
