House poised to pass Ukraine aid over the objections of Republican leaders

The House is set to pass a bill providing Ukraine with over $1 billion in security aid and $8 billion in defense loans, despite Republican leadership objections. The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks, advanced via a discharge petition, with six Republicans and an independent joining Democrats to push it forward. Lawmakers aim to pressure the Senate to act, though passage there may require President Donald Trump's endorsement.
