For Joe Biden, this aid package sends “a clear message about the power of American leadership around the world.”
The United States House of Representatives today approved in Washington the expected aid package for Ukraine, worth 61 billion dollars (57 billion euros), to face the Russian invasion that began in February 2022.
This military and economic assistance, which is the result of months of tense negotiations, ended up receiving support from both parliamentary benches and must now be approved in the Senate, where a first vote could take place as early as Tuesday.
Joe Biden urged the Senate to approve the aid as quickly as possible.
The aid package for 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).
