The US House of Representatives has approved a $61bn (£49bn) aid package for Ukraine.
The vote had been delayed by Republicans for months, with some objecting to sending money overseas instead of the US-Mexico border.
Ukraine, which heavily relies on Western weapons, desperately needs the aid as it struggles to fight against Russia's invasion.
Ukrainian soldiers are running so low on munitions, they are having to ration shells on the battlefield.
Separate votes were also held on aid packages to Israel and to Taiwan to deter Chinese aggression - all passed.
The votes are a politically risky move by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson to get Ukraine's aid package through.
