The US House of Representatives passed a new government funding bill on Wednesday, which included a $13.6 billion aid package for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia.
The funds will be used to provide humanitarian and economic assistance to Kiev as well as for boosting the defense capabilities of Ukraine and Washington’s other allies in Europe, including the Baltic States.
The Biden administration had initially asked the lawmakers for $6.4 billion to respond to the launch of the Russian offensive in Ukraine in late February, but the sum has more than doubled since then.
