BREAKING: With nearly $61 billion US dollars on the way, elated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (
@ZelenskyyUa
) writes, "Following the vote in the US House of Representatives, I spoke with
@POTUS
Joe Biden, who assured me that he will sign the bill immediately as soon as it is approved by the Senate.
"I appreciate President Biden's unwavering support for Ukraine and true global leadership.
"I also noted the bill's bipartisan support and the personal contributions of Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to its passage.
"The House’s other decision to allow the confiscation of frozen Russian assets also sends a strong signal to all of our partners.
"I also informed President Biden about Russia's air terror using thousands of missiles, drones, and bombs, including the recent strike on the Kharkiv TV tower just minutes before we spoke. Russia clearly signals its intention to make the city uninhabitable.
"We discussed the contents of the next U.S. military aid package. The President has assured me that the package will be approved quickly and that it will be powerful, strengthening our air defense as well as long-range and artillery capabilities.
"We also discussed our work on a bilateral security agreement and the preparations for the upcoming Global Peace Summit in Switzerland."
