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.

As an anticolonialist, shouldn't you oppose Russian attempts to colonize Ukraine?

As if Ukraine was at some point NOT a colony of Russia...

Hasn't been since July 16, 1990 when Ukraine became independent by democratic vote of 355 in favour and 4 against.

This implies that Belarus is also not a colony of Russia. Do better.

Belarus is not a colony of Russia. It's an independent nation, and has been for the last 33 years. Read a history book before spouting nonsense you ruski bootlicker. https://history.state.gov/countries/belarus

Tell that to a million of Belarusians who were persecuted and exiled for opposing Russian puppet at the head of state.

You must be fucking kidding me. How far up your ass your head is, if out of all sources you chose the US's department of state?
