Congressional Democrats are preparing a plan that would boost President Joe Biden’s requested $33 billion Ukraine aid package to nearly $40 billion, and a House vote is possible as soon as Tuesday, two people familiar with lawmakers’ thinking said.
In a retreat, Biden conceded that the package should not contain any of the additional billions he’s requested to combat COVID-19. Republicans, whose backing would be crucial to pushing legislation through the evenly divided Senate, have opposed adding that money to the Ukraine aid.
“We cannot afford delay in this vital war effort,” Biden said in a written statement. “Hence, I am prepared to accept that these two measures move separately, so that the Ukrainian aid bill can get to my desk right away.”
Biden said he has “nearly exhausted” his authority to continue shipping military aid to Ukraine, adding, “We are approximately ten days from hitting this critical deadline.”

Biden will want 20%
OMG WTF
The Democrats must have been doing some really dirty stuff in Ukraine.
Isn’t that how much the border wall with Mexico was going to cost?
Now we’re using that money to try and coverup Democrat crimes in Ukraine.
Great.
It also funds a whole bunch of marxist, disinformation and climate change crap in Europe. It is so bad the radio shows that were for more Aide to Ukraine are saying they would vote against it.
This war would never have happened if Trump was President.
Be sure to thank your Democrat friends.
It’s kickback RAT campaign finance pure and completely obvious.
Need some money to fund their election fraud.
Like we have so much money.
We could pay for every homeless person to stay at the
Hilton for 100 years...
“Biden will want 20%”
I am guessing dimjo already had his 20% figured into the original $33 Billion. The extra $7 Billion is the Congressional share.
Any Republican who votes for this needs to be primaried out of office next election.
Sinking deeper into yet another quagmire that doesn’t concern us as it endlessly sucks American blood and treasure, with Armageddon as the blinding flash of light at the end of the tunnel.

What is Ukraine’s annual budget for everything?
That’s more than the entire ICE budget.
