Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and other U.S. senators supporting continuous aid to Ukraine in its fight for freedom and democracy.
“For us in Ukraine, continued US assistance helps to save human lives from Russian terror,” Zelenskyy said on Twitter on Feb. 13.
“American assistance brings just peace in Ukraine closer and restores global stability, resulting in increased security and prosperity for all Americans and all the free world.”
The U.S. Senate passed the bill that provides $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan on Feb. 12, $60 billion of which is earmarked for Kyiv.
The document must now be approved by the House of Representatives. Its speaker, Mike Johnson, earlier criticized the upper chamber’s support for the package bill, suggesting it could be blocked in the lower chamber. However, if a handful of Republican representatives join forces with the Democratic minority in the House, they could force a vote on the bill, which is likely to pass.
