WASHINGTON, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Negotiators of a stop-gap spending bill in the U.S. Congress have agreed to include nearly $12 billion in new military and economic aid to Ukraine, sources familiar with the talks said on Monday, reflecting continued bipartisan support for the Kyiv government in the wake of Russia's invasion.
In response to a request from the Biden administration, the funding would include $4.5 billion to provide defense capabilities and equipment for Ukraine, as well as $2.7 billion to continue military, intelligence and other defense support, said the sources, who asked not to be identified ahead of the announcement.
It also will include $4.5 billion to continue to provide direct budget support to the Kyiv government through the next quarter. That way President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's administration can pay salaries to essential staff, support Ukrainians fleeing conflict and cover other critical expenses to help civilians, a government official said.

How much for the Big Guy?
Waste of money
Great to hear!!!!
After all, Ukraine deserves FAR MORE assistance than out southern border.
(I only say that because I live in Europe and hate America)
“… It also will include $4.5 billion to continue to provide direct budget support to the Kyiv government through the next quarter….”
**************************************************************
FUNGIBLE and UNACCOUNTABLE… man is the non-tracked cash flowing. PARTY TIME!🎉🎉🎉
This is BS, but the GOPe will go along with it. I am already not voting for my GOP Congressman over the last Ukraine aid bill and his vote for vaccine tracking. I have withheld donating any money to the GOP and I Suspect many other small money donors have done the same which is why the GOP is lagging in donations. There is not much else I can do. Calling and writing is a waste of time.
Any more spending and it will start to be some real money——paraphrase of Sen. Everett Dirksen.
Price of gas went up $1 overnight in Wisconsin.
It also will include $4.5 billion to continue to provide direct budget support to the Kyiv government through the next quarter.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
So will this set the Uke up to be our 51st state?
Will hunter be able to run for senator?
Wow..local supply problems?
Sorry, went up 50 cents overnight, not a $1.
This bastard Biden has given us all a bath on this and other issues, but the plug must be pulled because my bath tub just ran dry.
The only way they could get waste our money faster is if they put it in a pile and burned it.
My error, it was 50 cents, but it’s still a good jump.
It will never be enough. The public doesn’t know or care.
After the war is over this country will be giving them more. I estimate 50 billion. We did have a president who put this country first but the entire left colluded to destroy him.
“Negotiators.” Hahahahahaha. Republicans don’t have the slightest idea what that term means. But at least the pravda media and giving them a little cover.
Good for you
Filling the blunder coffers. This money cycles back to US politicians in many ways. Foundations are one example.
Hope they got free shipping
