ja till ukrainastöd – biden lovar vapen i veckan

Det stödpaket till Ukraina som nu har godkänts i den amerikanska kongressen ska ge Ukraina bland annat mer artillerigranater och vapen för att stå emot Ryssland. Arkivbild.

Senaten i USA:s kongress säger som väntat ja till ett stöd på nära 61 miljarder dollar till Ukraina. Kiev har väntat på stödet sedan i höstas för att stå emot Rysslands anfallskrig.

Nu fattas bara president Bidens underskrift, vilket sker under onsdagen.

“Jag kommer att skriva under lagen och vända mig till det amerikanska folket så snart lagen ligger på mitt skrivbord i morgon (onsdag) så att vi kan börja skicka vapen och utrustning till Ukraina den här veckan” säger Biden i ett uttalande på Vita husets hemsida.

Paketets innehåll innebär för Ukraina ett stöd på över 650 miljarder kronor. Enligt uppgifter i medier har det amerikanska försvarsdepartementet förberett ett första vapenpaket på en miljard dollar i en första sändning.

Förutom Ukrainastöd innehåller paketet därutöver miljardstöd till Israel och Taiwan samt en lag som kan leda till att Tiktok förbjuds i USA.

Ukrainas president Volodymyr Zelenskyj tackar de amerikanska senatorerna som röstade för stödet.

“Denna omröstning förstärker Amerikas roll som en ledstjärna för demokrati och ledare för den fria världen”, säger Zelenskyj i ett uttalande.

“Jag är också tacksam för alla amerikaner som fortsätter att stödja Ukraina och inser att den historiska betydelsen av detta lagförslag sträcker sig bortom politiken”, fortsätter han och understryker att militärt stöd utgör viktiga verktyg för att snabbare nå en rättvis fred.
