The US House of Representatives may consider a Democratic-backed bill in June that would allocate $1.3 billion in military aid to Ukraine, APA reports citing Politico.
According to the publication, the bill was introduced more than a year ago by Gregory Meeks, the ranking Democratic member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. It secured 218 votes in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, allowing Democrats, who are currently in the opposition in Congress, to bring the measure to a vote as early as June. Politico noted that the bill provides for $1.3 billion in aid to Ukraine, along with new sanctions against Russia.
