Quote:President Joe Biden on May 21 signed a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine.
Biden signed the bill, H.R. 7691, while traveling in Asia.
The legislation primarily features money for military assistance but also makes available $8 billion for economic support for both Ukraine and countries “impacted by the situation in Ukraine, including for programs to combat human trafficking.”
Another $5 billion is designated for helping ease food shortages in various countries. There’s also about $1.2 billion for assisting refugees.
...
The House of Representatives passed the bill 368–57 and the Senate approved it 86–11.
In my humble opinion, they should have spent some of that money in building the Southern Wall instead. Plus why is it legal to sign a bill like this aid package in a foreign country? Even if Biden were in Ukraine at the time, why couldn't he do that after returning to Washington DC?
Quote:Russia has cut off gas exports to neighboring Finland on Saturday after the Nordic country refused to pay Russian gas supplies in roubles. The move also comes at the same time as Finland is applying to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
On Friday, the Russian state-owned energy company Gazprom gave notice to its Finnish equivalent Gasum, saying that natural gas supplies will be cut off to Finland on Saturday at 7:00 a.m. local time.
Finnish gas system operator Gasgrid Finland confirmed the Russian gas supplies have been cut off on Saturday.
...
Gasum and Gazprom also confirmed on Saturday the gas flows had stopped.
I guess the memories of the upcoming winter will remain in the minds of the Swedish people for decades to come.
