The US is close to approving a new $1.3 billion military aid package for Ukraine and imposing additional sanctions against Russia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by<\/a> The Hill.<\/p>\n

On June 3, the US House of Representatives supported the procedure, which paves the way for a final vote on the relevant bill.<\/p>\n

The resolution was voted in favor by 218 congressmen, while 204 voted against. The final vote on the document is expected to take place in the near future.<\/p>\n

The bill provides Ukraine with $1.3 billion in security assistance, as well as up to $8 billion in additional support in the form of loans. It also proposes to extend the Lend-Lease program until 2028 and allocate $300 million in military assistance in 2026 and 2027.<\/p>\n

A separate section of the document concerns increased pressure on Moscow. In particular, it concerns new sanctions against the Russian oil sector and the introduction of 500% tariffs on a number of goods from Russia.<\/p>\n

“The House of Representatives has cleared the way for a final vote on a bill on aid to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia,” the publication notes.<\/p>\n

The document was brought to consideration through the discharge petition procedure, which allows a bill to be put to a vote even without the support of the leadership of the House of Representatives. To do this, it was necessary to collect at least 218 signatures of congressmen.<\/p>\n

The signature of Congressman Kevin Kaley was decisive, after which lawmakers were able to begin formal consideration of the initiative.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, the United States may soon announce the allocation of $400 million in military aid to Ukraine<\/a> , which was previously approved by Congress but was delayed due to internal procedures at the Pentagon.<\/p>\n
