The Kremlin has reacted strongly to the U.S. House of Representatives' approval of an aid package for Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov stated that the bill would not only enrich the U.S. but also impoverish and further damage Ukraine, leading to increased destruction and more deaths. Peskov also mentioned that the confiscation of Russian property, as stipulated in the bill, would harm the U.S.'s image and deter investors.
