Lawmakers also approved funding for Israel and Taiwan, not to mention other measures that could wind up sending frozen Russian assets to Ukraine or forcing the sale of TikTok.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
What’s in the bill? The Ukrainian aid package appropriates $60 billion to help pay for munitions and other assistance. But as many of the proposal’s backers have noted, a substantial share of that money will be staying in the United States. That’s because Defense Department officials are largely relying on existing stockpiles to support Ukraine, and then using the appropriations to replenish domestic supplies.
“To all of our voters demoralized by what the House did today: keep fighting,” he said. “It won’t be easy, but we’re going to save this country.” Davidson added “both major components are foolish” of the measure dealing with frozen Russian assets and a potential TikTok ban. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, however, emphasized a different piece of legislation wrapped into that bill.
Reactions closer to home Retired Doctor Taras Mahlay was in Canada when the vote came down. The president of the Cleveland Maidan Association had just flown back from three-week stint in Ukraine working with hospitals and training combat medics.
