The Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed a $39.8 billion package for Ukraine on Tuesday night, a measure that will provide Ukraine military and economic assistance, provide refugee support services, and prevent global food insecurity due to the Russia–Ukraine war.

The measure passed by a 368–57 vote. It was supported by every voting Democrat and by nearly three out of four Republicans.
