The US Congress has approved $61 billion in aid to Ukraine. After weeks of procrastination, the American House of Representatives adopted on Saturday the specific amendment on aid to Ukraine, which provides for an envelope of 61 billion dollars. This military and economic assistance, the result of months of extremely tense and laborious negotiations, must now be approved in the Senate, where a first vote could take place as early as Tuesday.
American aid which relieves kyiv and its allies. If the Senate has yet to validate this exceptional aid plan, Ukraine welcomes the vote taken on Saturday. President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday expressed his “gratitude” for “this decision which keeps history on the right track.” “The vital American aid bill passed today will prevent the war from spreading, save thousands upon thousands of lives, and help our two nations become stronger,” he said on X ( ex-Twitter). “Thank you America!”
Moscow deplores this vote and warns. The American aid voted on Saturday “will kill even more Ukrainians because of the Kiev regime”, denounced the Kremlin after the vote. “The decision to provide aid to Ukraine was expected and predictable. It will further enrich the United States of America and ruin Ukraine even more,” assured the spokesperson for the Russian presidency, Dmitry Peskov, quoted by state news agency TASS.
