Pelosi hoping for ratification of $33 billion for Ukraine.

In a press conference on Capitol Hill on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed her desire that the $33 billion request to Congress is approved “as quickly as feasible.”

Over $20 billion in guns and ammunition will be used to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses, as well as $3 billion in humanitarian aid.

The emergency funding are backed by both Democrats and Republicans.

Pelosi, on the other hand, was unable to say how long the funds would be approved by the parliamentary body.

President Volodymyr Zelensky compared the aid package to the Lend-Lease Act of the United States.

He made the comparison since it aided in Adolf Hitler’s defeat during WWII.

Russia’s actions in Ukraine have been characterized as a “special operation” aimed at disarming Ukraine and defending it against fascists.

Ukraine and the West, on the other hand, see it as justification for President Vladimir Putin’s rash actions.
