War in Ukraine – The US parliament now approves new aid

Date:

After months of blockade, billions more US aid could soon flow to Ukraine. The House of Representatives gave the green light on Saturday. The necessary Senate approval is still pending, but is considered certain, as is the support of US President Joe Biden.

Republicans, led by former President Donald Trump, have been opposing the billion-dollar package for months. But last week there was a change of heart. Mike Johnson, the Republican leader of the US House of Representatives, announced that he would now allow the package to be voted on.

Johnson flew to Florida specifically to coordinate with Trump. It is not known what was discussed about Ukraine. However, the Republican leader in the House of Representatives is threatened with an uprising by the ultra-right wing of his group and with his removal over the Ukraine package. He has only been leading the chamber since October.
