US House of Representatives Votes to Extend Military Aid to Ukraine
During the vote of the U.S. House of Representatives, the majority of congressmen voted in favor of extending military assistance to Ukraine.
This was announced by U.S. Rep. Don Bacon.
Thus, the majority – namely 353 congressmen – voted in favor, while 76 voted against.
This bipartisan support will allow H.R.4016 to move forward to the Senate, where its text can be amended, passed without changes, or rejected. At the same time, if the Senate supports it, the document will be submitted to the US President for signature.
Thus, if passed, the US government will continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine amid the US president’s changing rhetoric on the war in Ukraine.
It should be noted that the change in Donald Trump’s position on Ukraine is also reflected in the priorities for arms supplies. In particular, the U.S. Department of Defense has informed the Swiss government of the delay in the delivery of Patriot air defense systems, prioritizing their delivery to Ukraine.
In addition, President Donald Trump offered German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to sell Ukraine not two, but five Patriot air defense systems.
The proposal came after Trump watched videos of Russian air strikes on Ukrainian cities and then called Merz on his cell phone to offer to increase the number of systems for Ukraine.
