Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude to the U.S. Senate for approving the $61 billion aid bill to Ukraine.

Zelenskyy thanked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell for their leadership in advancing the bipartisan legislation, as well as all American senators from both parties who voted for the bill to pass.

"I am also grateful to all Americans who continue to support Ukraine and understand that the historic significance of this bill goes beyond politics," Zelenskyy said.
