US House passes vital $61bn aid for Ukraine

Ukraine’s efforts to drive back Russian troops received a massive boost as the US House of Representatives approved $60.8 billion in military support.

Eight months after President Biden first requested more money for Kyiv, the House voted 311-112 to back the bill, part of a funding package that also includes aid for Israel, Gaza and Taiwan.

There were cheers as the vote passed, with Democrats waving Ukrainian flags, in violation of House rules and chanting: “Ukraine! Ukraine!”
