The U.S. President Joe Biden signed the budget for 2023, which provides for the allocation of aid to Ukraine.
He reported this on Twitter.
"Today I signed a bipartisan comprehensive bill that caps a year of historic progress. It will invest in medical research, security, veterans health care, disaster recovery, funding to combat violence against women — and provide critical aid to Ukraine. We expect more in 2023," Biden wrote.
On December 22, the United States Senate approved a bill to fund the government in 2023 in the amount of $1.7 trillion. It provides almost $45 billion for aid to Ukraine and Washingtonʼs allies. The project provides $19.8 billion for arming and equipping the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO allies and $12.9 billion for stabilizing Ukraineʼs economy and covering its budget deficit.
