Biden called his speech \u201cconvincing\u201d and \u201cpassionate,\u201d but Biden\u2019s security assistance package didn\u2019t include Zelenskyy\u2019s key requests.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian president <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/08\/joe-biden-russia-ukraine-sanctions-no-fly-zone-poll\/\">pushed<\/a> for a no-fly zone \u2013 a move that the Biden administration <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/10\/florida-republican-rep-maria-salazar-supports-no-fly-zone-doesnt-understand\/\">opposes<\/a> \u2013 and requested fighter jets to give the Ukrainian military the ability to better defend their skies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world is united in our support for Ukraine and our determination to make [Russian President Vladimir] Putin pay a very heavy price,\u201d Biden said just hours after Zelenskyy\u2019s address. \u201cAmerica is leading this effort, together with our allies and partners, providing an enormous level of security and humanitarian assistance that we\u2019re adding to today, and we\u2019re going to continue to do more in the days and weeks ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Wednesday\u2019s security assistance doesn\u2019t include Zelenskyy\u2019s two major requests, it will provide hundreds of Stinger anti-aircraft systems, thousands of Javelin missiles, light-anti-armor weapons and AT-4 anti-armor systems, and millions of rounds of small arms ammunition, according to a fact sheet provided by the White House.<\/p>\n<p>The $800 million assistance <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/14\/joe-biden-jen-psaki-ukraine-commit-suicide-putin\/\">package<\/a> brings the total U.S. security assistance to $1 billion in the past week, the White House noted. The U.S. has committed $2 billion in assistance to Ukraine since Biden took office. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/15\/joe-biden-signs-government-funding-ukraine-aid-bill\/\">(RELATED:\u00a0Biden Signs Government Funding, Ukrainian Aid Bill)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a struggle that pits the appetites of an autocrat against humankind\u2019s desire to be free.
