WASHINGTON: "Democratic U.S. Senator Chris Coons, who chairs the Senate subcommittee that oversees foreign aid, said on Friday he would support an emergency spending bill of $10 billion or more to address the crisis following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"It would be a wild guess on my part, but I would be supportive of an emergency supplemental of at least $10 billion, if not more, to meet these vital security and humanitarian needs," Coons told a call with journalists just after returning from a weeklong trip to Europe.

Listing issues, including millions of refugees who may flood into other countries, the cost of enacting and enforcing sanctions, humanitarian support for Ukraine and military support for Ukraine and NATO states in eastern Europe, Coons said, "So $10 billion is probably on the low end, because I'm not factoring in what may be a robust defense-side request. The Biden administration has not yet said how much money it would like Congress to appropriate for the crisis."
