US House Approves Ukraine Aid, Imposes Sanctions on Russia, Defying GOP Leaders

The U.S. House approved a package that expands sanctions on Russia and authorizes more than $1 billion in security and reconstruction aid to Ukraine, including $8 billion in loans. Despite Speaker Mike Johnson’s push for a different approach, 18 Republicans and an independent voted in favor, signaling a rebuke of President Trump’s stance on the war.
It's going to send a great message to the soldiers of Ukraine.
It's probably not going to get 60 votes in the Senate, but it's going to hopefully force the Senate to address the issue.
This bill, in my opinion, is an unserious bill that was crafted basically a year-and-a-half ago.
Are we going to stand with good or are we going to stand with evil? That's what this is about tonight.
I think they are going to yield positive results, but you set that back if you pass legislation that doesn't go as far as the negotiations are going.
The question is how. Will we abandon Ukraine and force it into a terrible deal? That is what Vladimir Putin is counting on. Or will this body live up to the commitments we've made since the start of this war?
