President Biden is set to meet with top congressional leaders at the White House to urge Congress to pass additional aid for Ukraine and prevent a government shutdown. This comes after failed negotiations last Friday raised concerns about the repercussions of inaction in Ukraine, where the country is at risk of losing significant ground to Russia.
Efforts led by Representative Brian Fitzpatrick, in collaboration with Democrats, aim to build a bipartisan alternative to swiftly provide aid to Ukraine. They are exploring the possibility of forcing this alternative onto the House floor, despite potential objections from House leadership. The proposed bipartisan bill includes provisions for border funding and policy changes.
