The US Congress may approve President Joe Biden's requests for $106 billion of military support to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan by the end of the year.

What is known about the prospects of congressional approval of Biden's request for further aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan

According to Republican Senator James Lankford, the approval of the military aid package to Ukraine and Israel by Congress may take place by the end of this year.

According to him, the vote on the issue of making changes to the US immigration system will be part of the package of military aid to Ukraine and Israel.

The Biden administration has proposed allocating tens of billions of dollars to Israel and Ukraine to wage their respective wars, as well as $14 billion to protect the borders.

Lawmakers from the Republican Party of the United States said these funds should be linked to changes in immigration policy, for example, with the asylum system.

The most important thing is the opportunity to do everything right, the representative of the Republican minority in the Senate.

What is known about the Pentagon's position regarding further military support for Ukraine

The "Vezha" Center for Public Analytics chief Valerii Klochok noted on Channel 24 that the Pentagon chief, Lloyd Austin, maintains a consistent position regarding further military support for Ukraine.

In particular, in one of the latest statements, Austin noted that the US is working to strengthen Ukraine's military capabilities.

His public statements are always clear, unambiguous and do not have double interpretations. "Ukraine will receive as much aid as it needs," Klochok emphasized.

At the same time, the analyst noted that the USA and the EU countries have problems regarding the readiness to provide constant military aid to Ukraine.

As Klochok emphasizes, the US can solve existing problems with military aid to Ukraine faster than European countries. About the spread of information that representatives of the Republican Party may fail to approve the issue of further assistance to Ukraine, Klochok noted:

This aid is not about Ukraine or Israel. And about the internal political issue. Because we began to actively spread, in particular, with the help of the Russians, the thesis that "republicans will bury Ukraine".
