US House passes nearly $40 billion Ukrainian aid bill

The US House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a nearly $40-billion aid bill for Ukraine.

The 368-57 vote sends the defense, humanitarian and economic funding to the Senate, which is expected to vote on and pass it as soon as this week.

Across the Capitol, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has promised the Senate "will move swiftly" to pass the package for US President Joe Biden's signature.
