Joe Biden has said he will discuss Russia with fellow G7 leaders, as well as European Union and NATO bosses soon. 

The US president is expected to address the heads of the G7 alongside Volodymyr Zelenskyy tomorrow via video link – on the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion. 

The US rolled out hundreds of sanctions on Russia this morning, following the death of Alexei Navalny, however a much-needed aid package is still stalling in Congress. 

What’s holding up the bill?

The bill, worth some $95bn (£75bn), was approved by the Democrat-led Senate on 13 February, but is facing stiff opposition in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

Both houses of Congress must approve the bill before President Biden can sign it into law. 

Some $60bn (£47bn) of the package is allocated for military aid for Ukraine alone. 

However, former president Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress want funding directed toward domestic issues such as border control, rather than on foreign wars.
