"Promise victory in war": Biden is expected to approve $ 40 billion in aid to Ukraine Israel today

The massive US aid package passed the last hurdle in Congress when the Senate approved it by a large majority of 79 to 11. According to estimates, the move is expected to significantly strengthen Ukraine's ability to deal with the Russian invasion.

President Biden, is expected to officially sign the package and thus make it a binding law from today (Thursday).

This is the largest package of aid from the United States, or any country, to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in late February. , The Senate, approved it.

So far, the concern has been that if the package had not been approved, aid would have been cut off as early as this month because the U.S. Department of Defense did not have enough funds for aid purposes.

Now, the picture may change from end to end in the Ukrainian arena following the move.

Beyond military assistance in the form of weapons systems, the package also includes training and funding of various programs, both at the military level and on the humanitarian side.

In addition, billions will be poured into the American industries so that these will transfer the weapons or equipment to Ukraine, which will probably be felt in the US economy as well.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer welcomed the decision: "By enacting this emergency aid package, the Senate stands by the Ukrainian people and says: help along the way, real and meaningful help, a package that will ensure the Ukrainian people win."
