The US has pledged tens of billions of dollars for Ukraine. With time of the essence, President Joe Biden signed legislation that was last used during World War II.

We take a closer look at the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022 and get analysis from FRANCE 24's International Affairs Commentator, Douglas Herbert.

The Lend-Lease Act policy, which was formally titled “An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States,” was a WW2-era program in the early 1940s under which the United States supplied the United Kingdom, Free France, the Republic of China, and later the Soviet Union and other Allied nations with necessary wartime provisions of food, oil, and other critical materials between 1941 and August 1945.
