Biden presses Congress on Ukraine, security funding: Watch live

President Biden will make a public statement Wednesday urging Congress to authorize supplemental national security funding. The package would include funding for Ukraine’s defense against Russia.

That war has reached a critical moment, with hoped-for major gains on the ground elusive as winter begins.

The president is expected to speak at noon EST.
