Zelenskyy thanks US after House passes aid bill
euronews.com

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.

I swear... if it's not a war that's supported by the Left, than we're all traitors for questioning the finances behind it...

I like it when people and institutions do good things, I dislike it when people and institutions do bad things, simply enough. If there's one or two good things the US does at the geopolitical stage, and they hesitate, I'm just going to sigh in dissapointment.

Ukraine is supported by the entire Free World. Putin's Evil Empire and imperialist war of aggression is supported by neofascists.
