US approves more than 40 billion dollars more aid for Ukraine

The U.S. House of Representatives approved more than 40 billion dollars more aid for Ukraine last night. The measure was backed by every voting Democrat and by nearly 3 out of 4 Republicans. The measure now heads to the Senate, which is expected to act



quickly.

President Joe Biden had asked Congress to approve an additional 33 billion dollars in aid for Ukraine two weeks ago, but lawmakers decided to increase the military and humanitarian funding.
