US President Biden signs Ukraine bill, seeks $40 billion aid, in Putin rejoinder

India TV News  

Highlights President Biden signed a bipartisan measure to reboot the World War II-era 'lend-lease' program The resolve from Congress to maintain support for Ukraine has been lasting, but also surprising This serves as a rejoinder to Russian President Putin to rally his people behind the invasion. Washington sought to portray a united front against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan measure to reboot the World War II-era “lend-lease” program, which helped defeat Nazi Germany, to bolster Kyiv and Eastern European allies. “It matters.” One of the bill’s chief Republican sponsors, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, said in a statement the measure will give Ukraine “the upper hand against Russia, and I’m glad America could act as the arsenal of democracy for this critical partner.” Other measures, including efforts to cut off Russian oil imports to the U.S. and calls to investigate Putin for war crimes, have also gained widespread support, though some lawmakers have pushed Biden to do even more. “While President Putin and the Russian people celebrated Victory Day today, we’re seeing Russian forces commit war crimes and atrocities in Ukraine, as they engage in a brutal war that is causing so much suffering and needless destruction,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
