Biden signs spending bill that includes $13.6 billion in Ukraine aid

President Biden has signed a $1.5 trillion spending bill that funds the government through September and includes $13.6 billion in aid to Ukraine, as it fights off Russia's invasion.

The president signed the legislation Tuesday, after the Senate passed it late Thursday night by a 68-31 margin. The financial assistance to Ukraine, which includes several billion dollars in humanitarian assistance, garnered bipartisan support as Congress urged Biden to take more aggressive steps against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The $1.5 trillion bill to fund the government for the current year that runs through September 30 is being enacted five months behind schedule.
