“Today, the US Congress presented a draft of a short-term budget resolution, which provides for a $12.35 billion aid package for Ukraine, which is $600 million more than the White House's request. 7.8 billion is earmarked for defense, and 4.5 billion for direct budget support of Ukraine. This document also renews the authority of the Administration to transfer weapons and equipment to Ukraine directly from US stockpiles in the new fiscal year in the amount of $3.7 billion,” Arahamia said.
