The US House of Representatives approved today in Washington the expected aid package to Ukraine, worth 61 billion dollars (57 billion euros), to face the Russian invasion.
"I welcome the vote of the US House of Representatives approving a crucial and long-awaited aid package for Ukraine. This sends a clear message to the Kremlin: those who believe in freedom and the UN Charter will continue to stand by Ukraine and its people," wrote Charles Michel on his account on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
The package of military and economic assistance, which is the result of months of tense negotiations, ended up receiving support from the two parliamentary benches and must now be approved in the Senate, where a first vote could take place as early as Tuesday.
The aid package to Ukraine is the most significant of a set of three laws being voted on in a rare Saturday session, which includes support for Israel and Taiwan, in a total amount of 95 billion dollars (89 billion euros).
