Zelenskyy thanks US after House passes aid bill
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders have applauded the US for passing a vital €89 billion aid bill which has been struggling to make it through the House of Representatives for months.
The House swiftly approved roughly €89 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and other US allies in a rare Saturday session as Democrats and Republicans banded together after months of hard-right resistance over renewed American support for repelling Russia’s invasion.
With an overwhelming vote, €57 billion in aid for Ukraine passed in a matter of minutes, a strong showing as American lawmakers race to deliver a fresh round of US support to the war-torn ally. Many Democrats cheered on the House floor and waved blue-and-yellow flags of Ukraine.
Republicans are not against aid, and they ARE NOT in bed with the Russians. This is just ignorant talk by people on Lemmy and Reddit. Republicans want accountability about all the money that is being sent all over the fucking place. If it was up to Democrats, they'd just send, send, send...no questions asked. Keep in mind that Ukraine was once considered one of the most corrupt countries on the planet, so yea, let's just keep sending them billions and billions without making sure the money is actually being used for what it's supposed too...
How's that boot tasting?
Russia disagrees.

How idiotic can you get?? The accountability is that Ukraine will lose their country and their lives to Putin's Evil Empire if they lose the war. So stop with the nonsense.
Remember that guy George Bush that you voted for? When he sent $8 billion in US currency to Iraq that was instantly stolen, did you or any other Republican raise a finger? NOPE.
Nope. Russia is considered 10x more corrupt. Ukraine is somewhere near the median of 200 countries.
