“Congress has passed my legislation to strengthen our national security and send a message to the world about the power of American leadership: we stand resolutely for democracy and freedom, and against tyranny and oppression.”
For those who say that the aid package will only delay the inevitable…
We are dealing with a Ukraine that is able to strike targets in ruzzia. We did not see this Ukraine during the 2023 counteroffensive.
The aid package in and of itself won’t bring victory. But the aid package in conjunction with Ukraine’s new abilities will ensure victory.
Bombs away!
all the recent ukraine war update are losing ground. how many lives did this fucking political piss fight cost?
hopefully with ammo/equipment the losses can now be reversed.
seems unlikely without manpower support too though.
Ukraine is bleeding lives while the rest of the free world watches on and debates.
Let it rain
It’s not completely accurate to characterize this as “months of gridlock.” It was “months of delay caused by republicans in the House following orders from Moscow.”
Wonder how many Ukrainian lives were lost while waiting

The US Senate passed a long-awaited foreign aid bill on Tuesday night, ending a six-month deadlock over support for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
Senators sat late to consider a series of proposals that were first [approved by the House of Representatives on Saturday](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/04/20/us-vote-ukraine-israel-taiwan-military-aid-deal/), including a plan to [send $61 billion (£49 billion) in lethal aid to Ukraine](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/21/us-ukraine-aid-package-thwart-russia-offensive/).
The bill’s passage through both houses of Congress ends [a deadlock between the White House and Republicans](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2024/04/20/us-could-pass-aid-package-ukraine-israel-taiwan-tiktok/) on Capitol Hill, who opposed additional spending on the war and argued it should be spent on domestic programmes.
The legislation passed in the Democrat-controlled Senate with overwhelming support, with 79 votes in favour to 18 against.
Welcoming the result on Tuesday night, Joe Biden said he would sign the bill as soon as it reaches his desk on Wednesday.
“Tonight, a bipartisan majority in the Senate joined the House to answer history’s call at [this critical inflection point](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/03/11/ukraine-to-lose-significant-ground-to-russia-without-us-sup/),” he said.
“Congress has passed my legislation to strengthen our national security and send a message to the world about the power of American leadership: we stand resolutely for democracy and freedom, and against tyranny and oppression.”
