Russia, which is at war with Ukraine, said so with the new $61 billion aid package approved by the US House of Representatives for the former Soviet republic “More Ukrainians will die.”
This aid, which still needs to be approved by the Senate, “will further enrich the United States of America and further ruin Ukraine, where even more Ukrainians will die because of the Kiev regime,” the Kremlin spokesman said. Dmitry Peskovquoted by the official TASS agency.
On the other side is the Ukrainian PresidentVolodymyr Zelensky, He said he was “grateful” for the House’s approval. According to Zelensky, the “vital” package will now prevent the war from “expanding further,” while it will “save thousands and thousands of lives and help both nations become stronger,” the Ukrainian leader wrote on the social network.
The president thanked the House of Representatives, the Republican and Democratic parties and “personally” the president of the lower house, the Republican Mike Johnson.
“Democracy and freedom will always have global significance and will never fail as long as America helps protect them,” Zelensky assured.
The President also expressed the hope that the aid package would soon receive the green light in the Senate and from there go to the desk of his counterpart Joe Biden for final approval.
