April 23, 2024

The Senate is expected to pass a foreign aid package as early as today, and the President is expected to sign it right away. They would be approving the long-delayed House legislation, which passed over the weekend, as On Base reported.

“The Biden administration is preparing a larger-than-normal package of military aid for Ukraine that will include armored vehicles, in addition to urgently needed artillery and air defenses,” Politico reported, citing two U.S. officials.

The shipment will be ready “within a week or two” of the aid authorization becoming law, one Pentagon official recently told lawmakers.
