The United States will begin sending new weapons and equipment to Ukraine as early as this week, US President Joe Biden said after an aid package for Kiev was passed by Congress.
The texts, which provide a total of $95 billion in arms supplies and financial aid to US allies Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, were finally approved by both houses of Congress.
Biden promised to sign the four bills immediately, which would allow the United States to resume arms supplies to Kiev.
The bill’s $61 billion in spending includes funds to replenish the U.S. arsenal after weapons are sent to Kiev, as well as funds for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, through which the Pentagon buys systems for the Ukrainian military directly from U.S. companies.
About $8 billion is for non-military aid, including the operation of the Ukrainian government.
