The $ 40 billion package proposed by the US President to Ukraine was approved by an overwhelming majority in the House of Representatives. 368 positive votes against 57 negative votes cast, mostly by Republicans.

"This package will be not just for Ukraine defending its people, it is for defending democracy in the world," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.

In parallel with the approval of this assistance in the House of Representatives, the US Senate also held a meeting to hear the assessment of the director of national intelligence from the perspective of war. Ms. Heinz warned at the meeting that the war in Ukraine would be long and that the problem of food shortages and rising prices for food and hard goods would intensify. He stressed that Putin was preparing for a long war, and that his calculations were such that a worsening shortage and high cost would weaken the will of the United States and Europe.
