Congress has passed an $825 billion FY24 defense spending bill, but the plan to get Ukraine military assistance across the finish line remains uncertain.
Under the latest congressional budget plan, troops E-6 and below could start getting monthly bonuses from the Defense Department to offset low base pay.
The latest aid comes as the U.S. military remains deeply overdrawn and needs at least $10 billion to replenish all the weapons it has pulled for Ukraine.
