A key U.S,. lawmaker on Monday announced plans to introduce the "Freedom First Lend-Lease Act," allowing the U.S. administration to more efficiently send weapons and other supplies to Ukraine, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
The legislation aims to "provide President Trump with flexible authority to send 'war-winning' weapons to partners, including Ukraine, to deter actions from Russian President Vladimir Putin," Republican Representative Joe Wilson, a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said on a social media post.
"Bring Russia to the table through American Strength," he added.
Lend-Lease is a World War II-era measure that allowed the U.S. to quickly resupply Allies in the fight against Nazi Germany. The bill's introduction reflects continued U.S. support for Ukraine.
The U.S. Congress had assed the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act in May 2022, but it got expired a year after without being used.
