Congress Unveils $1.7tn Govt Funding Bill – Includes $44.9bn in New Emergency Aid for Ukraine, NATO Allies
The bill provides around $9bn for training, equipment, weapons, logistics and intelligence assistance to Kiev’s military and about $126.3mn to prepare for a response to possible nuclear and radiation incidents in Ukraine.
The bill reportedly prohibits the allocation of funds for the Ukrainian ‘Azov’ nationalist battalion. (RIA)
The Senate is expected to vote first and send the legislation to the House.
It could be the last major bill that passes this year before Republicans seize control of the House on Jan 3.
