The result of the vote is displayed on the evening of Wednesday, December 6. It is clear: 51 votes against. This is a setback for Joe Biden. The American Congress was in fact opposed to the release of an envelope of 106 billion dollars, part of which was devoted to Ukraine and Israel. Republican senators refused to vote on this text. They demand concessions on migration policy. This division is regretted by the Democrats.
$106 billion sent to Ukraine since February 2022
Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the United States has provided the largest civilian and military support to kyiv: $106 billion. Joe Biden’s promise was to continue this funding at all costs. On Wednesday evening, that commitment eroded. Despite everything, Washington announced the sending of new aid to Ukraine, seized from the executive’s reserves. Its amount: 175 million dollars.
