WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has reached the end of a long, painful battle with Republicans to secure urgently needed replenishment of aid for Ukraine. The Democratic president on Wednesday (April 24, 2024) signed into law a $95 billion war aid measure that also includes assistance for Israel, Taiwan and other allies. But significant damage has been done to the Biden administration’s effort to help Ukraine repel Russia’s brutal invasion during the monthslong funding impasse. Even with the new weapons and ammunition, it’s unlikely Ukraine will immediately recover after months of setbacks. Still, Biden says the legislation will make the world more secure as the U.S. supports its friends fighting against terrorists and tyrants.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has passed $95 billion in war aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden after months of delays and debate over how involved the United States should be in foreign wars. The bill passed the Senate on Tuesday after the House had approved the package Saturday. Biden is expected to quickly sign the legislation and start the process of sending the money to Ukraine. The legislation would also send $26 billion in wartime assistance to Israel and humanitarian relief to citizens of Gaza, and $8 billion to counter Chinese threats in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.
