ukraine says it desperately needs help to push back russian troops. the us is already the largest provider of military and humanitarian aid to ukraine, sending over $74 billion in the first two years of the war. this new bill provides more than 60 billion, including money to replenish stocks. almost 1a billion will be used buy advanced weapons and defence articles. the passing of this bill is a major bipartisan moment, something you just don't often see in washington. the next step is for it to get through the senate next week, which won't be too difficult because it's democrat—controlled. president biden will then sign it into law. the house will be in order. russia has described this as direct support for terrorist activities. but president biden said it was important in answering history's call. officials here say military aid is ready to go, with weapons now expected to reach the battlefield in less than a week. russia has reacted angrily to american politicians approving a package of military assistance for ukraine worth around £50 billion. mo
