The House of Representatives approved a bipartisan bill on Thursday, allocating over $8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine. This marks the largest aid package to advance in Congress in over a year.
The approval came despite opposition from GOP leadership. The legislation reached the House floor after six Republican members broke ranks to force a vote. The bill provides substantial support in response to Ukraine’s ongoing security needs.
The development reflects the deepening commitment of the United States to support Ukraine amid increasing tensions in the region. The vote demonstrates bipartisan cooperation on foreign policy and national security matters, highlighting differing views within the party leadership.
Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (D-New York) delivered remarks on Capitol Hill ahead of the vote, emphasizing the necessity of American support for international peace and stability. Meeks’ speech underscored the importance of backing Ukraine against external threats.
