President Joe Biden Signs Bill Providing Ukraine with $13.6 Billion in Additional Aid.

This is part of a $1.5 trillion measure funding the U.S. government for the year.

There’s nothing that we can do, when we do it together as the United States of America

President Joe Biden

On Wednesday, the U.S. House passed legislation that would fund the government through September and send nearly $14 billion in aid to Ukraine.

The money is to help with military aid and humanitarian aid as the country continues to be attacked by Russia.

“We must proceed with the omnibus today, which includes emergency funding for Ukraine and urgent funding to meet the needs of America’s families,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote to House Democrats. “It is heartbreaking to remove the COVID funding, and we must continue to fight for urgently needed COVID assistance, but unfortunately that will not be included in this bill.”

I am glad to see more aid sent to Ukraine because I cannot imagine what they are going through right now.
