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.

    Republicans want accountability about all the money

    How idiotic can you get?? The accountability is that Ukraine will lose their country and their lives to Putin’s Evil Empire if they lose the war. So stop with the nonsense.

    Remember that guy George Bush that you voted for? When he sent $8 billion in US currency to Iraq that was instantly stolen, did you or any other Republican raise a finger? NOPE.

    Keep in mind that Ukraine was once considered one of the most corrupt countries on the planet

    Nope. Russia is considered 10x more corrupt. Ukraine is somewhere near the median of 200 countries.
