Schumer Expects WH To Send Ukraine Budget Request To Congress Tmrw: NBC

Julie Tsirkin at NBC tweets: "Leader Schumer told me he expects the Biden administration will send Congress a request for Ukraine aid TOMORROW. “I've talked to the White House about it. I believe we will get a very strong, broad based request.”."

• Comes as administration runs low on funds to provide support to Ukraine. Defense News writes, "An official from the White House’s Office of Management and Budget told Defense News that Biden only has approximately $250 million left out of the $3.5 billion that Congress authorized for the president to use in transferring military equipment to Ukraine from U.S. stockpiles."
• Article goes on to outline difficulties in getting GOP support for the measure: "[Senate min ldr McConnell said] his party would likely continue to hold up passage on coronavirus relief package — and by extension any potential Ukraine supplemental included in that legislation — unless they get votes on blocking Biden’s reported plans to repeal a pandemic-related immigration provision known as Title 42."
