Zelenskyy thanks US after House passes aid bill

He doesn't need to thank us, he deserves our thanks for fighting against fascism. Some of the best money the US has ever spent. Now, redirect all money from Israel to Ukraine.

The republican traitor filth should be sent to the front, to fight for their motherland.

Hot fucking damn, the russian bots are really out on parade in this comment section aren't they?

...Welp, not like they can parade IRL, so I guess they've got to take what they can get!

Shame the TikTok ban went through, but a 60 billion package should give some fresh strength to the defenders of Ukraine.

It's bullshit that they're being thanked for table scraps that the children had to slap fight over how many scraps are allowed..

Of course anything other than 100% gratitude would be touted by the shittier child for the rest of their life regardless of whether the scraps ended off starvation or not.

My metaphor got a little weird but what the fuck.

Hey, Republicans, do y'all remember Red Dawn? Those two movies you made about The USSR and Russia being the ultimate evil enemy that was going to invade and must be stopped? You do? Good.

My real question is, why in the name of all that is Murican, ARE YOU ACTIVELY HELPING RUSSIA WITH THEIR ILLEGAL AND UNPROVOKED INVASION‽‽‽

Sorry we’re late, we let the stupid people plan things and… you know.

Any way to give Ukraine 2-4 years worth of stuff at a time?

Now the Senate still has to pass the bills. Hopefully this will work out.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders have applauded the US for passing a vital €89 billion aid bill which has been struggling to make it through the House of Representatives for months.

The House swiftly approved roughly €89 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and other US allies in a rare Saturday session as Democrats and Republicans banded together after months of hard-right resistance over renewed American support for repelling Russia’s invasion.

With an overwhelming vote, €57 billion in aid for Ukraine passed in a matter of minutes, a strong showing as American lawmakers race to deliver a fresh round of US support to the war-torn ally.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine said he was “grateful” to both parties in the House and “personally Speaker Mike Johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track,” he said on X, formerly Twitter.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said "Ukraine deserves all the support it can get against Russia.

Russian Foreign Minister spokeswoman Mariya Zakharova said "US military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan will exacerbate global crises: aid to the Kiev regime is a direct sponsorship of terrorist activities; to Taiwan - an interference in China's internal affairs; to Israel - a direct road to escalation in the region".

Hey, no problem Big Z, I didn't need healthcare, schools, or infrastructure anyways :)

Give money 🤑

Hitler would be proud

Bad move. The smart thing to do would be to say "No backsies" just in case this election goes tits up.

Now he can afford the higher quality coke again

Did Zelensky really think the US wouldn’t take another chance to play war games? Nah, we like instability too much. Can’t have Russia gaining too much power/resources now. Sorry we’re late, as usual.

Republicans are not against aid, and they ARE NOT in bed with the Russians. This is just ignorant talk by people on Lemmy and Reddit. Republicans want accountability about all the money that is being sent all over the fucking place. If it was up to Democrats, they'd just send, send, send...no questions asked. Keep in mind that Ukraine was once considered one of the most corrupt countries on the planet, so yea, let's just keep sending them billions and billions without making sure the money is actually being used for what it's supposed too...

Zelenskyy thanks US for opportunity to kill some tens/hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians more, as well as pocket a few billion dollars for himself and his friends.
