This week, President Biden signed a nearly $100 billion "security package" for Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. Biden's particularly happy about the additional $60 billion for Ukraine:

Early Wednesday, the national security package arrived at my desk.

Before noon, I had signed it into law.

And this week, we’re sending weapons and equipment to Ukraine as it defends itself against Russian bombardment.

That same day, the Biden's hosted a Wounded Warrior Project event at the White House, and the first lady made some remarks:

Jill Biden on Wednesday praised her husband’s advocacy for U.S. service members before she sounded a red horn to start the Wounded Warrior Project’s annual Soldier Ride from the White House lawn.
“My husband often says that we have many obligations as a nation but only one sacred obligation: to support you and your families when we send you into harm’s way and when you return,” the first lady said about President Joe Biden, a Democrat who is seeking reelection to a second term.
“As president and as a military dad, he never loses sight of that conviction. And that’s why he’s working tirelessly to make sure that you and your families have what you need to thrive,” she said.

Then it was Jill's husband's turn.

During the Wounded Warriors event, Biden told the audience the good news about the bill he'd just signed that included $60 billion for Ukraine. Then his wife had to intercede to point something out:

Joe Biden tells wounded warriors they are the spine of America after Jill helps him find the wounded warriors.
