report Mehr News Agency According to Rashatoudi, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, has promised to pass the bill proposed by the president of this country, Joe Biden, to help Ukraine. which has been blocked in Congress for a long time, advance and approve.
This proposed bill has been deadlocked in the US Congress for months due to partisan conflict. According to reports, Johnson told House Republicans in a closed-door meeting that he was willing to vote on a stand-alone bill solely to provide military aid to Kiev. It is also expected that the House of Representatives will vote on separate bills on providing aid to Israel and Taiwan.
The New York Times quoted Johnson as claiming: We know that the world is watching our reaction. The leaders of Russia, China, and Iran are waiting to see if America will stand by its allies and interests around the world, and we will!
Republicans in the House of Representatives have so far refused to approve the foreign aid bill that should be proposed last October; This bill includes $61 billion aid to Ukraine.
The delay in sending aid to Ukraine has upset President Volodymyr Zelensky and other Kiev officials.

Zelensky warned last week that if the Congress does not help Ukraine, the country will lose the war.
