That's just drawing from a special Presidential fund. I forgot the name. It is only a couple of billions in total, and must last for a year and for everything the administration wants to support without Congressional approval.
And if the $60 billion main aid package is intended for a year, then $300 million is the equivalent of less than 2 day's worth.
"A drop on a hot stone", as we say in Germany.

Ein Tropfen auf eine heiße Stein?

They're a bit late to the dance.$300 million is next to nothing.

Apologies, there are traitors holding our wallet that would rather see Putin steamroll through NATO. This is just what Biden could find in the couch cushions.

I think you mean Russian assets they are bought and paid for at least traitors betray their country for ideology. These fucks will sell their soul for money and power.

, but stressed the need for Congress to pass more aid.
"It is a relatively small package to give Ukraine the minimum of what it needs for a short amount of time," a senior defense official told reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

It's about $300 million more than nothing actually

At least it's something... Any bit helps at this point.

It's pathetic.
Purely for saving face.

300 million? Come on, man. We fined a single sex pest slash business fraudster more than that. Surely we can find more to help an entire nation.

Was wondering when Genocide Joe would finally do this for Ukraine as well.

Better than nothing right now, Congress needs to unfuck itself. The free world needs to defeat putin and russia.
Agreed. Though I worry that'll take pressure off the cantankerous legislators that are blocking true support for Ukraine.
How did US politics get to a point where Russia is tacitly if not explicitly being supported by half of the electorate? And all because of an 🍊 with an IQ to match?
:(
Money.
Worry all you like. Kicker is a lot of people have been screaming at Biden/his administration to send aid to Ukraine again. I am definitely not his #1 fan, though he's trying and that should be recognized more often, despite his faults.
