The ambassador said she hopes that the procedure for approving the bill on assistance to Ukraine will be completed as soon as possible, and that US President Joe Biden will sign it immediately. From then on, the law will immediately come into force and the authority to provide weapons to Ukraine will also come immediately.
"I will say more, Ukraine and the United States are actively working on these packages, not stopping even when there was no such authority. Therefore, I think it will be very fast", Markarova said, adding that it is possible that this could happen as early as April.
- U.S. House members Bill Keating, a Democrat, and Thomas Cain, a Republican, said that the transfer of new military aid to Ukraine as part of the approved package would arrive in Kyiv "sooner than expected".
