The House passed a bill Saturday to provide Ukraine with $60.8 billion of aid weeks after the Senate passed a massive bill with aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, as well as funding for increased border security.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., opted not to put that bill bundling aid for the three countries on the floor, instead choosing to pass three separate aid bills.
The House bills are expected to pass the Senate this week, which Zelenskyy specifically urged.
Asked whether the aid will help Ukraine win the war or just prolong it, Zelenskyy told Welker: “It depends on when we actually get weapons on the ground.
“Giving the U.S. a specific timeline of the war, well, it depends how soon they get this aid.
For weeks, Zelenskyy has expressed the urgent need for weapons and supplies to continue defending Ukraine from Russian attacks.
And it’s only ammo that the civilized world is providing, and I think it’s a good decision,” he said. »
