During Zelensky's visit, the US is set to approve the delivery of advanced Patriot missile systems to Ukraine.

The United States allocates around $1.3 billion in military aid to Egypt annually. Much of it has no conditions attached.

"25,000 instant meals were shipped today to Kharkiv as part of continuing Israeli humanitarian assistance to Ukraine," said Israeli ambassador Michael Brodsky.

The cooperation, which begins on Monday, will see the groups send medical and consumer products, among other basic and essential aid items.

One Israeli effort is a refugee aid center that will serve all Ukrainians escaping the war in their country, Jewish or not, with an emphasis on providing them with winter gear.

The sides agreed on a "possible temporary" ceasefire to facilitate the evacuations, the Ukrainian negotiator said. 

Citizens of Afghanistan see humanitarian aid talks in Oslo that legitimize the Taliban as a betrayal from the West.

The US has provided around $1.3 billion in foreign assistance to Egypt annually since the 2017 fiscal year, according to a congressional research report.

The money is intended to be used to provide vital services such as healthcare, housing, education, food and employment opportunities.

Over 90% of this money must be used as credit for buying weapons from companies within the US, basically subsidizing their arms industry.
