President Joe Biden is urging Congress to quickly pass Ukraine aid in a move that would prioritize assistance for Kyiv over new Covid relief funding for the U.S.
"I call on Congress to pass the Ukrainian Supplemental funding bill immediately, and get it to my desk in the next few days," Biden said in a statement Monday.
His decision to separate the two bills should help clear the way for congressional approval of nearly $40 billion in funding for Ukraine, but it leaves in limbo a $10 billion pandemic relief bill that Biden and Democrats have said was a top priority as the U.S. tries to ensure it has enough vaccines, testing and treatments for a potential winter surge.

Jeez how much money laundering can they do?
What happened to the AMERICAN BORDER WALL?
There was so much “COVID” funding already that they starting funding crack pi- ... er, “smoking kits”
To hell with the pandemic, America, we must protect our politicians’ money-laundering operation in Ukraine.
Last year we had a world-wide, mass-death pandemic. That was nothing compared to the importance of Ukraine !
The WAR DRUMS are blinding ALL OF CONGRESS and stampeding them into this MASSIVE GIVEAWAY.
ALL FORGETTING AMERICA FIRST.
Couldn’t find 10 billion for Americans but 40 billion for Zelensky. No problem!
“Priorities.”
That’s a tell.
It’s kind of like this: if Zelinsky surrenders tomorrow, it’ll be too late to steel our money.
40 billion to fund Ukraine? How much is EU contributing to funding Ukraine? Looks like we are doing all the heavy lifting for what is an EU security interest while NATO sits on the sidelines and watches. Time to tell them they need to start pulling their weight.
10% for the Big Guy.
“...Couldn’t find 10 billion for Americans but 40 billion for Zelensky. No problem!....”
It’s a UniParty feeding trough thingy....you wouldn’t understand. /s
“..Jeez how much money laundering can they do?...”
Greed is a terrible vice.
What they can’t steal thru taxation, they’ll steal thru inflation and massive money laundering. They’re all nothing but a bunch of godless, lying thieves.
The USA can just rot in hell. The war must continue!
Trump was begging for $5 billion to finish his wall. Pelosi and Schumer denied HIM. Now we’re throwing BILLIONS helpin foreign countries with their problems.
What are we up to in Ukraine? Pushing 100 billion?
How much can they possibly need? Subtracting the kickbacks, of course...
How about we just put 10% of that money directly into joe’s bank account and then forget the rest.
That’s what this is all about anyway and 4 billion is a lot cheaper to us than 40.
Democrats love to pass spending bills for a reason pure profit no taxes.
