Now this document should accept the Senate.
The House of Representatives of the US Congress on the evening of Tuesday, May 10, voted for the adoption of a bill to provide assistance to Ukraine due to the war unleashed by the Russian Federation in the amount of almost $ 40 billion.
It is reported by CNN.
The Democrats’ proposed $39.8 billion aid package to Ukraine exceeds the request by President Joe Biden, who asked lawmakers to agree on a $33 billion bailout as soon as possible.
Now this document must be adopted by the Senate, after which it will be submitted to President Joe Biden for signing.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said earlier that after the House approves the package, the Senate will “make its moves quickly” to pass the document and send it to Biden.
To help Ukraine, Democrats and Republicans have largely rallied.
Legislators released the text of the bill on the eve of the vote in the House of Representatives. The adopted document provides for the financing of military and humanitarian aid.
Recall that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky told what he could spend additional assistance from the United States on.
