Newly-elected U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson in Washington

The United States Senate voted overnight to advance a foreign aid bill totaling $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, and other U.S. allies. The bill passed with a majority vote of 70 to 29, indicating broad support for the provision of continued assistance to these nations.

In response to the passing of the bill, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky expressed his gratitude towards Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, and every U.S. senator who supported the measure. President Zelensky acknowledged the critical importance of continued aid to Ukraine and emphasized the uncertain fate of the bill as it now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration.
