CNN —President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke on Sunday to discuss Russia’s invasion and recent US efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses.
The package announced last week includes weapons and artillery rounds, as well as equipment to help Ukraine boost its air defense.
Biden also highlighted the $53 million package announced late last month to support Ukraine’s electrical system as it faces a barrage of attacks from Russia, according to the White House statement.
He presented a 10-point peace plan to end Russia’s invasion in a video speech to G20 leaders in Bali last month.
Biden welcomed his “stated openness to a just peace based on fundamental principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter,” the White House said Sunday.
