Republicans unveil new military package for Ukraine

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have unveiled a huge new military aid package that includes some $61 billion in long-delayed support for Ukraine, as well as more than $26 billion for Israel and $8 billion for Taiwan, AFP reports.

The text of the bills was released after House Speaker Mike Johnson said the vote would take place on April 20, setting up a clash with his own far-right wing, which has blocked aid to Ukraine for months. / BGNES
