The House of Representatives voted in favor of the allocation of USD 250 mln for Ukraine’s defense within U.S. Defense Spending Bill for 2019.
As the Embassy of Ukraine in the USA reports in Facebook, the bill was passed on Thursday.
The amount of spending is 100 mln dollars higher than the Committee suggested providing in the current budget year.
It is noted that the document includes the main provisions of the Ukraine Cybersecurity Cooperation Act.
“It, in particular, provides for assisting Ukraine in strengthening personal capabilities on cybersecurity, ensuring security of computer networks of government authorities, reducing dependence on Russian information and communication technologies, promoting participation in information exchange programs”, the embassy emphasized.
