President Biden has signed a bill to speed up U.S. shipments of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine. The bill revives the 1941 Lend-Lease Act, which the U.S. used to arm Britain and other allies against Nazi Germany during World War II.

President Joe Biden: “The cost of the fight is not cheap, but caving to aggression is even more costly. That’s why we’re staying in this.”

Biden’s signature came as Democratic lawmakers reportedly agreed on a proposal to provide nearly $40 billion in additional funding to Ukraine — even more than the $33 billion Biden requested in April. The House could vote on the plan as early as today.
