The US House of Representatives easily passed a more than $40 billion Ukraine aid bill that funds new weapons and provides economic assistance. The legislation, which is larger than the $33 billion package President Joe Biden requested last month, now heads to the Senate where approval is likely next week.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi met Biden at the White House and called on allies to work on a long-lasting peace process in Ukraine, even as they seek to punish Russia over its invasion.
