(AP Photo\/Manuel Balce Ceneta)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN NEWSROOM<br \/>UPDATED 9:42 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, May 11, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>The House of Representatives moved forward a $40 billion Ukraine military aid package. The lower chamber passed the legislation in a 368-to-57 vote on Tuesday, just hours after the bill\u2019s official text was released. All 57 opponents of the spending spree were Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) praised the bill\u2019s passing as a monumental for a crisis that has raged for the past three months.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe should all be very proud that we had the opportunity when (Vladimir) Putin decided whatever it is he decided, to be brutal and cruel and a coward, that we were there to help,\u201d stated the top Democrat. \u201cIt\u2019s about democracy versus a dictatorship.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The aid is supposedly split evenly between military and humanitarian efforts with billions of dollars going towards training Ukrainian troops, replenishing weapons stores, propping up the Ukrainian economy and aiding refugees in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is $7 billion more than President Joe Biden\u2019s initial request and will put the American aid to Ukraine up to $54 billion since the war first began. With its passing, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) claimed the latest push will bring the crisis closer to a conclusion.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis bill ensures that we are one step closer to making them pay the full price for their actions,\u201d she stated. \u201cAnd in the process, we will be standing firmly with the Ukrainian people while combating the exploitation of Ukraine\u2019s vulnerable financial system.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden and the Democrat Party initially wanted to tie the package in with additional funding to combat COVID. However, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-K.Y.) had pledged to stand in the way of the bill\u2019s passage unless COVID relief funds were dropped.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I got to meet with Ukrainian Ambassador Markarova to discuss Ukraine&#8217;s brave fight.
