US President Joe Biden has signed into law a $13.6 billion military, humanitarian and economic aid bill for Ukraine.
He announced this in Washington on March 15.
“I just signed into law bipartisan government funding that keeps the government open and provides Ukraine with a historic $13.6 billion in funding,” he said.
“With this bill, we are going to send a signal to the American people — a strong signal that Democrats and Republicans can really come together and do something… to fulfill our most basic responsibilities, to keep government open and working for the American people, serving the American people.” investing in their communities and investing in the American people will do so financially responsibly,” Biden said.
He added that the Russian invasion has united people across America, “united our two parties in Congress and united the freedom-loving world to act urgently and decisively, which is what we are doing right now.”
“I want to thank Congressional leadership for working so quickly to make sure we have the necessary economic, humanitarian and security resources to continue our strong response to this crisis,” the American leader said.
The funds are intended to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the fight against Russian troops and will go to humanitarian aid to citizens, including approximately 1.5 million refugees.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi noted during the vote on the bill that $13.6 billion is likely to be just “the top.”

Of course that’s good. But right now Ukraine needs something a lot more. In Kherson the occupier scum are starting to behave like the red army did in WW2. The fact is that the nazis were almost like gentlemen compared to these savages. Looting, torture, raping and thieving are in progress, with the blessing of putinazi commanders. Public hanging is being mooted for civilians accused of trumped up charges.
The occupiers need to be attacked by air now to prevent genocide.
And then when they’re caught, they sound like, “Oh, poor me, I didn’t know what was happening, they lied to me…”
No mercy this time. We just showed them 8 long years of mercy and patience. It’s over for at least 200 years.
He’s full of shit. From what I can figure direct aid to Ukraine in Humanitarian, Military and Economic Aid is about 5 Billion. The rest seems to be spread along allot of other issues related to the war.

Money is fine, missiles and planes are better.
In addition, over the past 24 hours, security assistance from the United States and other states has continued to flow into Ukraine. In particular, the deliveries included weapons.
