let's start here in washington. all eyes will be on capitol hill this weekend — a dramatic shot of their life. as a foreign aid package for ukraine will finally make it onto the house floor. lawmakers are expected to vote saturday on that bill, along with several others, including assistance for israel and taiwan. republican speaker of the house mikejohnson had blocked ukrainian aid for months, and while it still faces resistance from some members of his own party, the bill is expected to pass. let's take a look at what's in that aid package for kyiv. total aid to ukraine amounts to an estimated $61 billion. with $23 billion, or about a third of that money used to replenish us weapons and ammunition stockpiles. $13.4 billion will go directly to ukraine to purchase weapons from the us. $15.8 billion will be given in security assistance. $9.5 billion in economic help, in the form of "forgiveable loans" that the us president is authorized to set the terms of and given the power to cancel. and a much smaller measure i

russia says it shows that washington is wading deeper into a war that will end in humiliation. the foreign ministry spokeswoman, maria zakharova, said the aid — which includes ammunition and air defences — was evidence that the us wants ukraine "to fight to the last ukrainian". our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse is in kyiv and says it can't come soon enough for president volodymyr zelensky. he's saying he wants to minimize the time between the political decisions in washington and, in his words, the destruction of the enemy on the eastern front line. he's meeting with his defense minister to talk about installing these incoming air defense systems on cities that need it, like kharkiv in the northeast, you'd imagine, as well as for them to be deployed on the front lines where russia enjoys air superiority. but it is on those very fortifications where president zelensky is hoping this package will change things. because just today we have russia's defense ministry claiming to have on its own, it won't mean much, but it's thought or feared here in kyiv that russia is s
