US Senators introduced a bill on the allocation of aid to Ukraine: the voting date is announced

The U.S. Senate unveiled a proposal of $118 billion aid package for Israel, Ukraine and border security.

This was reported by CNN.

According to the bill, it is expected to allocate $ 60.1 billion for aid to Ukraine, $ 14.1 billion to Israel and $ 20.2 billion to improve security on the American border.

The main difference in the new proposal is over $13 billion more in border security funding.

In turn, US President Joe Biden expressed support for the bill containing a bipartisan agreement on the border, as well as aid to Ukraine, and called on Congress to speed up its passage in both Chambers.

"We have reached agreement on a bipartisan deal on national security that includes the toughest and fairest set of border reforms in decades. I strongly support it," he noted.

He said if the Kremlin's appetite for control over Ukraine is not curbed now, Putin will go further and the United States will have to spend more on security.

Biden appealed to Congress to pass the bill, developed on the basis of a bipartisan agreement, as soon as possible.

Earlier "Apostrophe" reported that Donald Trump, after winning the primaries in Iowa, said that he "gets along well with Putin".
