MOSCOW (AA) – US Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday expressed her “full belief” that the US Congress will pass a bill allocating new $60.6 billion in aid to Ukraine.

Speaking at a news conference in Munich following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Harris said the US, which "historically stands as the global leader" should demonstrate to the world that it is unified.

"It is my full belief that it (the bill) will actually pass," she asserted.

For his part, Zelenskyy said Kyiv is "counting on the US Congress, this package is vital," noting that it will not be enough to win the war but will encourage Ukraine's troops.
