The American Congress adopted on Friday, through the final vote of the House of Representatives, a large bill on financing federal services in the total amount of 1.66 billion dollars, of which 45 for Ukraine, reports AFP.

This avoids the paralysis of the American federal administration (the famous “shutdown”), which could have happened already on Friday evening, if the text had not been previously approved by Congress.

The 4,155-page bill would provide $772.5 billion for non-defense discretionary programs and $858 billion for defense, according to a summary released earlier this week by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy.

The figures represent an increase in non-defense spending of about 5 percent and an 8 percent increase in defense spending and Pentagon programs.

The legislative package also includes $44.9 billion in military, humanitarian and economic aid to Ukraine.

The total includes funds to replenish the Pentagon’s weapons stockpile sent by the US to Ukraine, as well as additional aid to NATO allies.

The vote in Congress comes a day after the vote in the Senate and two days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy came to Washington and delivered a historic speech at a special joint session of Congress.
