Since October, since we released the original, obviously, national security supplement, we've made clear how important it was to get aid from Ukraine to the brave people of Ukraine who are fighting. who are fighting for their democracy, obviously, we say this is critical because they're losing ground because of congressional inaction.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson looks set to push through a $95 billion aid bill for Kyiv, Israel and other allies this weekend, despite a storm of protest from hardline Republicans that could lead to an attempt to veto it.
Friday's procedural vote, which passed by a 316-94 vote with more support from Democrats than Republicans, who hold a slim majority, advanced a package similar to measures passed by the Democratic-majority Senate in February.
In addition to helping the allies, the package contains provisions for the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine and sanctions against Hamas and Iran, as well as forcing China's ByteDance to sell the TikTok social network, otherwise it will be banned in the United States.
