U.S. Congress Approves almost $700 Mln Assistance for Ukraine

After House of Representatives vote, U.S. Senate should also consider assistance to Ukraine. U.S. House of Representatives has approved $698 million for security and foreign assistance for Ukraine that will be transferred to Ukraine in 2020, Voice of America reported. “As the world reels in astonishment at this Administration's politicization of funding for Ukraine, this new action by a steadfast Congress sends a signal of robust bipartisan support for Ukraine’s democratic path, free from Russian aggression,” reads a statement of U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. This is $2.3 million more than in fiscal year 2019. Previously it was reported that the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, agreed by congressional representatives, included $ 300 million for military aid to Ukraine.
