The measure, which came as part of a government spending bill passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives, now goes to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.
It follows a visit to Washington last week by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which he thanked Biden and the Congress for their support for Ukraine’s defense against Russia.
