This is the best summary I could come up with:
After months of deadlock, Democrats and Republicans joined together in the US House of Representatives to approve a package - worth $60.8bn (£49bn) - to help Ukraine fend off Russia’s invasion.
During the months of delays, some Republicans were critical of the aid proposal and argued America should be focussing on its own southern border instead of European ones.

Ukraine’s priorities are long-range artillery and air defences, Mr Zelenskyy added.
The US House’s decision to approve the aid was praised by UK Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron, who called the funding “a vital step forward”.
“If Putin ever doubted the West’s resolve to back Ukraine, this shows our collective will is undimmed,” he wrote on X.
