The US Senate finally approved almost 61 billion on Tuesday. USD (EUR 57.3 billion) aid package for Ukraine, after 79 senators and 18 deputies voted. Israel and Taiwan will also receive billions of dollars in support.
After several months of delay, the aid package was approved by a majority vote in the Republican-dominated House of Representatives.
US President Joe Biden helped to sign the aid package for Ukraine as soon as possible and assured that the much-needed support for Kyiv will start to be provided within a week.
I will sign the bill and tomorrow (Wednesday V), as soon as it reaches my desk, I will appeal to the American people so that we can start laying down arms and arms to Ukraine within a week, the president said, adding that the support shows Washington’s commitment to democracy and freedom, the fight with tyranny and oppression.
According to the bills approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate, 60.8 billion USD allocated to Ukraine, 26.4 billion USD to Israel and 8.1 billion USD for the Indo-Pacific region, reading Taiwan.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy asked the Senate for help on Tuesday.
“I thank Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell for their strong leadership in advancing the bipartisan legislation, as well as all US senators from both sides of the aisle who voted for it,” he said on social media.
I also appreciate President Biden’s support and I hope that the construction project will be signed soon, and the next military aid package will be as good as I always see in our negotiations, V. Zelenskis added.
According to the President of Ukraine, Ukraine’s long-range capabilities, artillery and air defense are very important means to restore a just peace sooner.
The aid package was approved at a time when critics of Ukraine’s forces are demanding field ammunition and air defenses to protect civilians.
V reminds that the US representatives will delay the adoption of the aid package for Ukraine for a long time, because it was approached by the hard-line members of the Republican Party, instigated by former US President Donald Trump.
For a long time, you have been in favor of financing Ukraine, but recently you stated that you might agree to additional financing if it was provided as a loan.
Republicans complain that from the beginning of March 2022 in Ukraine In the summer, I have already sent billions worth of help.
They also insisted that the immigration crisis at the southern border of the United States should be solved first, although they fundamentally disagree with the construction project passed in the summer, which included some of the strictest immigration restrictions in decades.
However, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, ultimately decided to defy hardliners who even threatened to impeach him.
Ukraine is waiting for the decision of the US Congress. Kyiv is increasingly announcing that it urgently needs new union support, because Russia is constantly winning on the field.
