The US House of Representatives on Saturday approved a bill clearing the way for billions of dollars in funding for Ukraine.

The $61 billion (€57 billion) package includes economic assistance and weapons. It was passed with a bipartisan majority of 311 to 112 votes.

The bill is part of a foreign aid and arms package valued at $95 billion (€89 billion) that also includes aid for Israel and Taiwan .

The package will then head to the Democrat-controlled Senate, where passage in the coming days is all but assured. US President Joe Biden has promised to sign off on it immediately.

    80% of the Ukraine aid will remain in the U.S. America is giving older weapons that are 20-40yrs old and using the aid money to replenish our stocks with newer weapons, all whilst creating American jobs in our key defense industry across dozens of states.

    Funding for Ukraine from the US is going to be difficult in future. Republicans are becoming isolationists.
