United to win: US president signs Ukraine aid bill
US President Joe Biden has signed a bill providing nearly $61 billion in aid to Ukraine. This will enable the US to deliver a new package of military assistance to Ukraine.
Rubryka reports this with reference to the White House broadcast.
"Today is a good day for world peace. I just signed into law a law that deals with aid. It will make America and the world safer. It will help our partners protect their sovereign land," the US president announced.
Biden emphasized that in the next few hours, he will do everything to transfer the documents to the relevant authorities so that missile systems and other weapons can be sent to Ukraine. After all, this will help not only Ukraine but also European security.
In addition, the American president gave the details of the first package that will be provided to Ukraine within the allocated aid of 61 billion dollars. According to him, Ukraine will receive ammunition for air defense, artillery, missile systems, and armored vehicles.
For reference:
On April 20, the US House of Representatives approved a bill on financing aid to Ukraine. Even before the end of voting, the required number of votes was collected for the draft law. 310 congressmen voted for the draft law, while 112 voted against it.
Subsequently, the Senate majority leader, Democrat Chuck Schumer, announced that on Tuesday, April 23, the Senate of the United States of America would consider the bill on aid to Ukraine, which the House of Representatives finally approved on April 20.
It should be added that for the document to become law, it must be voted on by both houses of Congress and signed by the US president.
