The president of the United States, Joe Biden, has signed this Thursday a public spending bill of the government of 1.7 million dollars (1.6 million euros) that includes an additional aid package for Ukraine.

The president, who has ensured that this measure puts an “end to a year of historic progress”, has maintained that he expects more progress in 2023, as indicated in a message on the social network Twitter.
