Joe Wilson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/6753\/text\">introduced<\/a> the Ukrainian Democracy Defense Lend Lease Act in February. It is modeled after the Lend Lease Program, which was first created by Congress in 1941 to arm Great Britain. It passed the House 417-10, with 221 Democrats and 196 Republicans voting in favor. Ten Republicans voted against the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>A companion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/senate-bill\/3522\/actions\">bill<\/a> unanimously passed the Senate in an April 6 voice vote. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the legislation, Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/minutes\/congress\/04-28-2022\/wwii-era-revival\/\">reported<\/a>, although Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/News\/Transcripts\/Transcript\/Article\/3012823\/pentagon-press-secretary-john-f-kirby-holds-a-press-briefing\/\">declined<\/a> \u201cto get ahead of the president\u2019s decision with respect to\u201d the bill during his Wednesday press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely the amazing, the unintended consequences of Vladimir Putin, that he\u2019s brought Democrats and Republicans together,\u201d Wilson said on the House floor. \u201cHe has united the people of the U.S., and with the leadership of [House Foreign Affairs Committee] chairman Greg Meeks and the ranking member Mike McCaul, Americans are united in their support of the people of Ukraine. For 63 days, the courageous people of Ukraine have resisted full-scale invasion by war criminal Putin with his murderous occupying forces, in large part due to the courageous leadership of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUkraine\u2019s request is simple: provide the weapons needed to protect the Ukrainian homeland and Ukrainian families.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/25\/antony-blinken-lloyd-austin-meet-volodymyr-zelenskyy-ukraine\/\"><strong>(RELATED: Blinken, Austin Complete Secretive Meeting In Ukraine, Promise More Aid)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">On behalf of Parliament of \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6, I thank <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpeakerPelosi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SpeakerPelosi<\/a> and all members of the House of Congress\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 for supporting the Lend-Lease for \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6.<br \/>This is a historic decision!
