		</div><p>US officials say the Pentagon is poised to send a one billion-dollar package (£0.8 billion) of military aid to Ukraine as the Senate begins a debate on long-awaited legislation to fund the weapons Kyiv needs to stall gains being made by Russian forces in the war.</p>
<p>The decision on Tuesday comes after months of frustration, with bitterly divided members of Congress deadlocked over the funding.</p>
<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson was forced to cobble together a dramatic bipartisan coalition to pass the Bill.</p>
<p>The 95 billion-dollar (£76 billion) foreign aid package is now expected to gain Senate approval soon. About 61 billion dollars (£49 billion) of the aid is for Ukraine.</p>
<p>The announcement reflects US President Joe Biden’s promise on Monday in a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky saying that the US would send the badly needed air defence weapons once the Senate approved the Bill.</p>
<p>Mr Zelensky said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that Mr Biden also assured him that a coming package of aid would also include long-range and artillery capabilities.</p>
