Biden signs law providing historic $13.6 bln in funding to Ukraine
U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law a bipartisan government funding bill that provides Ukraine with a historic $13.6 billion.
"I just signed the Bipartisan Government Funding Bill into law – keeping the government open and providing a historic $13.6 billion in funding to Ukraine," he said on Twitter.
Biden also said that "Putin's aggression against Ukraine has united people all across America and united the freedom-loving world."
The President of the United States thanked the leadership of the Congress for the prompt work, which confirms that the country has the resources necessary to "continue our forceful response to this crisis."
In turn, The Hill said the budget is for the period until September.
The bill was agreed upon for months until it was presented in its final form to the U.S. Congress last week. After that, he quickly gained support from Republicans and Democrats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
