President Zelenskyy says Lend-Lease Act for Ukraine is ‘historic’ decision
Lend-Lease Act gives the US authority to "lend and lease" war supplies to any country amid ongoing military conflict
The US signing of the Lend-Lease Act, which makes it simpler to offer military support to Ukraine, was termed by President Zelenskyy as "historic."
“And it is no coincidence that the new Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act was signed on May 9,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly address. “I am personally grateful to President Biden for this support, for this decision, and such symbolism.”
The Lend-Lease Act of 1941 gave the US government the authority to "lend and lease" war supplies to any country that was actively involved in a military conflict.
The act is officially named "an act to promote the defense of the United States," and it was signed by former US President Franklin D. Roosevelt
