In a significant move, the US House of Representatives has given the green light to a $61 billion (£49 billion) aid package aimed at bolstering Ukraine’s military efforts in countering the ongoing Russian invasion. The approval comes at a crucial juncture, as Ukraine’s armed forces grapple with dwindling munitions and escalating hostilities.
The aid package extends beyond Ukraine, with additional support earmarked for Israel and the Indo-Pacific, totalling a staggering $95 billion (£74 billion). The comprehensive bill aims to address regional security concerns and reinforce alliances.

The urgency became apparent last October when Ukraine’s military supplies began running perilously low. With the Senate expected to follow suit in the coming days, President Biden has pledged to sign the aid package immediately.
