The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk initiated an open letter from the speakers of 23 parliaments and the head of the European Parliament to the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson with a request to introduce a bill that provides for the allocation of $60.06 billion in aid to Ukraine. This was announced by the Chairman of the Rada.
The parliamentary speakers called on Johnson to facilitate the adoption of a historic decision by the US Congress that will ensure US aid to foreign countries and provide Ukraine with the necessary funds to continue its struggle.
"Our countries are determined to continue to increase support for Ukraine and its Defense Forces, seeing it as a significant investment in our individual and collective security," said the collective letter published by Stefanchuk.
In the letter, the speakers also emphasized that "the axis of evil must be defeated and all the guilty must be brought to justice, which will be a significant deterrent to further conflicts and will return a sense of control and security to our people."
"I really hope that our voice and our appeal will be heard in the US Congress," Stefanchuk emphasized.
The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada added that the letter remains open for signature by other parliamentary speakers who wish to join it.
