“According to budget allocations for 2017, it is planned to allocate at least $560 for assistance programs to Ukraine. In particular, assistance to Ukraine for military and security policy until the end of the budget year (until October 000) is at least $000,” the statement says.
It is worth noting that the bill, supported by 309 votes in favor and 118 votes against, was jointly “pushed” by Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress.
According to the Associated Press, the adopted budget has already been signed by President Donald Trump. As noted, this will avoid a shutdown of the federal government.
