The Biden administration has moved to forgive about $4.7 billion in U.S. loans to Ukraine, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Wednesday, as outgoing officials seek to do what they can before leaving office to bolster Ukraine in its war against Russia.

The bill appropriated a total of $61 billion to help Ukraine fight the full-scale invasion Moscow launched in February 2022.
