The US House of Representatives has approved $60.8bn (£57bn) in aid for Ukraine, as it battles the Russian invasion that began in February 2022.
Democrats and Republicans came together to break a months-long impasse, Sky News reports.
The aid package passed by 311 votes to 112.
The military and economic assistance, which has been the subject of tense negotiations for months, ultimately won support from both sides of the aisle and now heads to the Senate, where a first vote could come as early as Tuesday.
The Ukraine aid package is the largest of three pieces of legislation being voted on in a rare Saturday session, which also includes support for Israel and Taiwan, for a total of $95bn (£89bn).
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the US for the decision. "Democracy and freedom will always have global significance and will never fail as long as America helps to protect them," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
I am grateful to the United States House of Representatives, both parties, and personally Speaker Mike Johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track.
