Ryder also said that this package, in particular, will include air defence equipment.
Quote: “As we’ve done in the past, we can move within days… The package would likely include things like air defence and artillery capabilities,” the official said.
Previously:
- On 19 April, the US House of Representatives held a procedural vote on four foreign aid bills, including one on Ukraine, which allows them to be brought to the floor of the House later.
- The House is expected to vote on the package of bills on Saturday, 20 April. On that day, members of the House will consider all the amendments that previously passed the procedural committee and then put each bill to a vote in turn.
