Senate Advances $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine Amid GOP Opposition

Despite far-right Republican resistance, the Senate moves forward with a significant military aid package, while its fate in the House remains uncertain.

The U.S. Senate is moving forward with a $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other allies, despite opposition from far-right Republicans.
The package includes $60 billion for Ukraine to purchase U.S.-made defense equipment and $14.1 billion in military aid for Israel, among other provisions.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is pushing for passage, while the package's future in the House remains uncertain due to GOP opposition.
Some Republican senators have shifted their stance on prioritizing border security over foreign aid, voting to advance the aid package.
President Biden has emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine, calling failure to do so 'close to criminal neglect'.
