Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders have applauded the US for passing a vital €89 billion aid bill which has been struggling to make it through the House of Representatives for months.
The House swiftly approved roughly €89 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and other US allies in a rare Saturday session as Democrats and Republicans banded together after months of hard-right resistance over renewed American support for repelling Russia’s invasion.
With an overwhelming vote, €57 billion in aid for Ukraine passed in a matter of minutes, a strong showing as American lawmakers race to deliver a fresh round of US support to the war-torn ally. Many Democrats cheered on the House floor and waved blue-and-yellow flags of Ukraine.
Now the Senate still has to pass the bills. Hopefully this will work out.
Yeah, I was gunna say, they’re gunna need to learn to put the mortar before the shell once they get their funding. Thanking us for something that might never come is a little out there.
I just hope the senate is able to vote on the components separately like the House was, because Fuck Russia but also very much Fuck Israel.
