The United States Congress proposes to increase aid to Ukraine by nearly $ 40 billion.
The US could increase aid to Ukraine to $ 39.8 billion. For such a decision, they intend to vote in Congress on May 10. On Monday, May 9, according to Bloomberg.
According to the publication, lawmakers increased the president’s initial request, providing an additional $ 3.4 billion in military aid and another $ 3.4 billion in humanitarian aid.
The decision to quickly agree to assistance was made after the White House said there would be enough money for arms supplies to Ukraine until the third week of May.
To expedite the process, the House of Representatives agreed to vote on this document separately from Biden’s other request for money to fight COVID-19. The next step must be a vote in the Senate.
The other day, the US president urged Congress to immediately pass the Ukrainian bill for additional funding and put it on his table in the next few days.
Recall that US President Joe Biden signed the Lend-Lease law for Ukraine.
