The US House of Representatives approves additional aid to Ukraine

The US House of Representatives approved an additional aid package worth $300 million for Kiev, which was previously excluded from the draft defense budget.

This aid was included within the framework of the Security Assistance Initiative, which requires the US Department of Defense to conclude contracts with manufacturers, rather than securing weapons directly from the Pentagon’s stockpile.

The draft law also includes $20 million to tighten control over the funds that Ukraine receives from the United States.
