The Senate approved a $95 billion emergency security spending bill, allocating $60 billion for Ukraine, while sidelining a bipartisan border security bill that faced resistance from Republicans.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s strategic move aims to bolster U.S. aid for Ukraine, with key senators, including McConnell and Thune, supporting the legislation.
The Senate will need additional votes before sending the funding package to the House, where challenges, including demands for border reforms, are anticipated.
The urgency to aid Ukraine is emphasized amid concerns about the nation’s depleted resources facing Russia’s advances.
