New Funding for Ukraine: US Senate Approves Aid Bill as Russia Makes Territorial Gains

It is noted that the funding can be used to pay for critical weapons, supplies and other equipment.

Ukraine currently faces an artillery shortage, and Russian troops have made small territorial gains in recent weeks.

“The debate over the use of the Pentagon’s small reserves underscores the White House’s fierce efforts to find whatever support it can for Ukraine,” Bloomberg writes.

The publication’s sources indicate that the final decision has not yet been made. The White House is focused on convincing the US House of Representatives to pass the Ukraine aid bill. Biden is confident that if the Speaker of the House of Representatives puts the bill to a vote, it will be passed with an overwhelming majority of votes.

Help to Ukraine from the USA

For several months now, the US Congress has been unable to approve new funding for assistance to Ukraine in order to continue the supply of weapons and more. This situation stems from disagreements between Republicans and Democrats over border security, funding for which was included in the package with aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

The Senate recently passed a separate bill with money for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. In order for it to come into force, the document must still be approved by the House of Representatives and signed by President Joe Biden.

According to CNN, the House of Representatives may vote on financial assistance to Ukraine in late March or April.
