The bipartisan bill includes $60.8 billion for Ukraine; $26.4 billion for Israel and humanitarian aid for civilians in conflict zones, including Gaza; and $8.1 billion for the Indo-Pacific region.

Weapons from the aid package, considered "a lifeline" for Ukraine's military, could be arriving on the battlefield within days.
