23:05, 20.04.2024

The House has voted in favour of giving Ukraine the $60.8bn (£49bn) military aid package, the BBC reported.

The final result was 311-112. This marks a pivotal moment for Ukraine, which desperately needs the military assistance as it struggles to fight against Russia’s invasion.

The Senate is expected to approve the measure in the coming days, before it is signed into law by President Biden.

Officials have told US media that some of the munitions could reach Ukraine within a week.
