Massive Ukraine aid package to get House vote after backdoor maneuver to buck GOP leadership

The House will have to take up a major security package for war-torn Ukraine after enough Republicans joined Democrats to give the needed 218 signatures to force a vote.

A vote is likely to come in the next few weeks on the package that would marshal $1.3 billion in security aid to Ukraine and allow the war-torn country to get up to $8 billion in additional loan support.

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, introduced the bill in the House last year, where it sat for months. It would also slap tighter sanctions on Russia and replenish the US weapons stockpile.

Right now, the measure is not widely expected to become law due to likely opposition from President Trump and uncertainty about whether the Senate would even take it up.

Trump has long railed against US direct aid to Ukraine under the Biden administration and has instead favored the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative, where Europe has to foot the bill for weapons sent.

How so? Trump can veto it?

“Trump can veto it?”

Yes, if it even clears the Senate.

“The House will have to take up a major security package for war-torn Ukraine after enough Republicans joined Democrats to give the needed 218 signatures to force a vote.” I wonder how much bank they think they’ll make.

Let’s hope so… I’m weary of the slaughter in this ‘Brother’s War’. Focus on the SAVE Act.

“... $1.3 billion in security aid to Ukraine...”

This is FREE money to the corrupt criminals in Ukraine. Any loans the USA taxpayers gives them will NEVER be paid back. Ukraine is a giant money pit.

Let the EuroTrash pay and defend The Ukraine. /spit

The DNC is out of money. This is how they are used to getting it, through kickbacks.

At this point, and after Trump and Vance have given Ukraine the middle-finger, Ukraine should go it alone with European help. Ukraine is doing quite well without American help.

American weapons are welcome, even if they are sent in a roundabout way, thru NATO to Ukraine.

Other than that, forget the U.S. aid, and even forget negotiations where the U.S. is involved in any capacity.

Ultimately, it’s not our war.

Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.),
Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-Calif.)
