The United States Congress has approved a nearly $40bn military and humanitarian aid package for Ukraine, an “unprecedented” sum that US legislators say will help the country defend against Russia’s continued invasion.The bill, previously passed by the House of Representatives, passed in the Senate on Thursday by an overwhelming 86 to 11 vote, sending the measure to President Joe Biden for his signature.The massive aid package signals a major escalation of US backing for Ukraine after nearly three months of war, analysts told Al Jazeera.
