The United States Senate has passed a $95 billion aid package that includes $61 billion for Ukraine, $26 billion for Israel, and more than $8 billion for Taiwan. The aid package also includes humanitarian assistance for Gaza, Sudan, and Haiti. President Joe Biden plans to sign the bill into law and start sending weapons and equipment to Ukraine this week. The package was delayed by right-wing Republicans but eventually passed by the Democratic-controlled Senate, with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressing gratitude for the support.
