Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell emphasized the urgency of the U.S. providing Ukraine with the necessary weapons to combat Russian aggression, criticizing delays in the aid process. He highlighted the strain caused by the delay following the Senate's passage of a bill over two months ago. McConnell's comments come as the House recently passed the 'REPO Act', which authorizes the seizure of approximately $20 billion in Russian assets in U.S. banks to support Ukraine. This is part of a larger $60 billion foreign aid package intended to help Ukraine defend against Russia, with McConnell expressing hope that this amount will be sufficient.
