Overview
- The U.S. House approved the Ukraine Support Act on Friday, June 5, 2026, by a 226–195 vote with 18 Republicans and one independent joining Democrats.
- The bill authorizes more than $1 billion in direct aid and up to $8 billion in loans to let Ukraine buy U.S. military equipment and training.
- It includes expanded sanctions and export controls targeting Russian banks, the energy and mining sectors, and senior officials including President Vladimir Putin.
- Passage in the House was forced by a discharge petition after months of reduced White House support and Pentagon planning over how and when to deliver the aid.
- The measure now moves to the Senate where Republican leaders have previously blocked sanctions votes, and President Trump is expected to consider a veto if it reaches his desk; European financial guarantees and recent diplomacy frame the vote within a broader allied response.
