’s antagonistic invasion won congressional approval late Thursday night, when the Senate passed a massive $1.5 trillion spending bill to fund the US government through September.
Lawmakers more than doubled what the Biden administration requested in emergency aid for Ukraine. The Ukraine-related spending in the legislation includes money for humanitarian aid, $6.5 billion for the Defense Department, $3.5 billion to replenish equipment sent to Ukraine and $3 billion for US troops to help NATO member states in the region.
