In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden announced a package worth more than $2.17 billion to Ukraine, including longer-range missiles, tanks, and other military support. RowVaughn and Rodney Wells, the parents of Tyre Nichols, a Black man who died after being beaten by Memphis police officers, were invited to the address to honor his memory and recognize the fight for racial justice. This package is part of the US' commitment to global security and stability, and a strong signal of support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.
