China News Service, May 11. According to a CNN report, on the 10th local time, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an aid bill worth about $40 billion to Ukraine.
Next, the bill will go to the Senate for a vote.
According to reports, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an aid bill worth about $40 billion with 368 votes in favor and 57 against.
All the dissenting votes came from Republicans, the report said.
The report also said that next, the bill needs to be passed by the Senate before it can be submitted to US President Biden for signature.
U.S. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said earlier on the 10th that after the House of Representatives passed the aid bill, the Senate "will act swiftly" to pass the bill.
On April 28, Biden sent a letter to Congress requesting the approval of "Emergency Fiscal Year 2022 Supplementary Funding" totaling $33 billion to provide security, economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.
The size of this aid is an increase of about $6.8 billion on the basis of Biden's previous proposal, including $3.4 billion in military aid and $3.4 billion in humanitarian aid.
