WASHINGTON (AP) - A U.S. aid package for Ukraine and its Eastern European allies grew to around $14 billion on Tuesday as lawmakers put finishing touches on a $1.5 trillion government-wide spending bill that leaders hope Congress will enact by week's end.
Democrats and Republicans rallied solidly behind the Ukraine aid, with Russia's attack devastating parts of the country and prompting Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War II. Negotiators said the package of military, humanitarian and economic aid to the region had grown close to $14 billion, up from $12 billion just Monday and President Joe Biden's $10 billion request last week.
“We’re going to support them against tyranny, oppression, violent acts of subjugation," Biden said at the White House.
The bipartisan rallying behind the Ukraine aid package was just one manifestation of Congress' eagerness to help that country, but not all of it has been harmonious.
Republicans accused Biden of moving too slowly to help Ukraine and NATO nations assisting it, and to impose sanctions against Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. Democrats say time was needed to bring along European allies that rely heavily on Russian energy sources. And a bipartisan push to ban Russian oil imports had grown perhaps unstoppable before Biden announced Tuesday that he would do that on his own.
By dinner time Tuesday, lawmakers had still not released the overall bill, which would finance federal agencies this year and include the Ukraine aid. But details of the sweeping bill were beginning to emerge and its passage, probably in coming days, was not in doubt.

10% to the Big Guy.
A quintillion here, and a quintillion there, and soon you’re talking about real money!
$83,000/month for Hunter Biden and Devon Archer has proven to be a really great investment.
Gotta fund all of that bioweapon lab and laundering operation, before it can come back to the Clinton Foundation, Kerry Foundation, McRomney Kids, PeLOUSY spawn, etc.

1.5 Trillion on top of the other Trillions will take us down
medicine costs, gas costs, food costs keep going skyward. How does this help Americans struggling at home?
$1.5 Trillion…..WTF?
I hope Putin nukes DC.
.
It’ll help them to accept Democratic Socialism.
That’s the only target. The Dem Debates were illustrative.

Ukraine was to get past the 48 Vote limit in the Senate.
There’s no doubt. Crisis to Crisis, money never ending.
.
Both sides will blame Inflation on Putin.
.
14 billion is something like 25% of Russia’s annual defense spending.
How much of that is going to Hunter Biden?
Please look at this Twitter thread. Pics of Azov brigades receiving instructions on NLAWS from NATO advisor, plus tons of pics of the Ukrainian Nazis we, and Europe are funding.

It started out at $10B, didn’t it?
What’s a few Bs, here and there?
mcconnell is going to stab us in the back again. Everyone of these “republicans” that votes for this should be gone next election. Bastards, everyone of them!
14 billion dollars flushed down the toilet. Just for starters. Who knows how many dead. Never would have happened on Trump’s watch.
How much border wall would that 14 billion dollars have built?
Age restricted content. Can’t see it, have to have a twitter acct.
@LeaderMcConnell on Ukraine aid: “Where we’ve ended up is at $14 billion...It needs to be passed and it needs to be passed quickly.”
