War in Ukraine: President Zelensky welcomes $ 40 billion US shipment

In his night sermon, its president Of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskywelcomed the approval given by the Congress of USA to provide $ 40 billion in aid as well as the infamous Borrowing-Renting bill.

“The US Congress voted for a new and important aid package for our state, but also for the world Republic. Nearly $ 40 billion… This money will be used as soon as possible and without bureaucracy in order to strengthen Ukraine’s defense“, He said and continued:

«First of all this money means weapons and ammunition, equipment. But it’s not just that. They will be given to support crime investigations war waged by Russia and the invaders, the support of diplomacy and much more. “

He also welcomed the final approval given by Joe Biden to the Borrowing-Leasing bill.

“Those who remember history will know very well that this bill was the ‘key’ to the Allied victory in World War II. US aid to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union tipped the scales in their favor in Europe. Europeans received a lot of equipment through this bill. It is no coincidence that the new Borrowing-Renting Bill for the Defense of the Ukrainian Republic was signed on 9 May. “I am grateful to President Biden for his support, for his decision and for his symbolic move,” he said.

“Because now we are the ones defending freedom and the right to life on behalf of all free nations in the war against tyranny, which poses the same threat to Europe as it did 80 years ago. To put it simply the Borrowing-Renting bill is a way to get what we need for our defense“, He concluded and continued, referring to the optimism he has about the difference that the new reimgs will make in the war with Russia, but also about how the bureaucratic issues that delayed the faster shipment of equipment to Ukraine are now bending.
