US Congress Passes $61 Billion Ukraine Aid After 6-Month Delay

The US House of Representatives passed a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine, ending a six-month Republican blockade led by Speaker Mike Johnson and MAGA members aligned with Trump. The Senate had passed the bill earlier. Biden signed it into law on April 24. The package included ATACMS long-range missiles and replenished air defense interceptors. Ukraine's military described ammunition shortages during the delay as critical.
