So that the war does not spread: Zelensky thanked the House of Representatives for helping Ukraine
" The President of Ukraine thanked the senators for the vote. Thanks to the head of the state appeared in a post on the social network X (Twitter). Zelensky noted that the decision of the senators involved the speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson - he thanked him personally. The politician stressed that the United States was able to confirm the dedication to the ideals of democracy and freedom.
In his view, these concepts, as well as peace and security, can be provided through strength. Today's vote has reduced the possibility of spreading war and saved people's lives. "Fair peace and security can only be achieved through power. A vital bill on US assistance, adopted today by the House of Representatives, will help prevent war on war," the politician wrote.
It should be noted that on April 20, the House of Representatives of the US Congress considered four laws, including help packages of Ukraine. In particular, the frozen assets of the Russian Federation, which Ukraine can receive and more than $ 60 billion, which will go for military support. In the evening (in Kiev), the senators gathered for a meeting and a discussion began, during which they had to reject or support the amendments made.
As a result, within an hour, there was a vote for both draft laws involved in the Russian-Ukrainian war. The first senators supported a document on frozen Russian money, the second - about a package for $ 60 billion. After that, they should come to the Senate, where the following votes will take place. The laws will only enter into force after President Joe Biden is signed.
