0:35Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden signed a $95 billion national security package into law and said assistance to Ukraine would begin to move within “hours,” capping off a bruising fight with Republicans over long-delayed assistance for Kyiv and other besieged US allies.
Biden’s signature clears the way for the US to quickly resume arms shipments for Kyiv, whose efforts to repel Russia’s invasion have faltered amid the eight-month funding impasse. Even with refreshed stocks of weapons and ammunition, Ukraine could struggle to retake the initiative after being driven to the breaking point from months of Russian attacks.
The new longer-range ATACMS system was secretly approved for use by Biden in February, according to a senior US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The missiles were used for the first time in recent days to strike Russian troops in southeastern Ukraine, the New York Times reported.
