The Facts
After Senate approval a day earlier, the Democrat-controlled US House of Representatives on Friday approved a nearly $1.7T government funding bill that includes an additional $45B of aid to Ukraine. The bill will now go to US Pres. Joe Biden for signing into law.
In a tweet, Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Congress and the leaders of both parties for the "unwavering bipartisan support." He said it was "crucial" that the American people remain "side by side" with Ukrainians in this fight.
The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Making sure Ukraine continues to be well-armed is the only way to fend off Putin and Russia in this unprovoked war of aggression. The US and NATO must not simply offer up their latest and most hi-tech weapons however; combat is about supply lines, and the West must ensure basic equipment and ammunition are kept flowing as needed.
Pro-Russia narrative
Multi-billion dollar weapons packages will make little difference in the outcome of the war. The US has been meddling in Ukraine since the end of the Cold War, and what we're witnessing is a geopolitical Ponzi scheme to benefit those aligned with the military-industrial complex. War is a lucrative racket.
