Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has expressed his commitment to opposing Russia's invasion of Ukraine for the remainder of his term. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has proposed a novel approach to continue funding the war effort, diverging from the Senate-passed $95 billion package with aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
One potential piece of the House's forthcoming effort is the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity (REPO) for Ukrainians Act, which aims to liquidate seized Russian assets to provide more assistance for Ukraine. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., praised the plan, stating that it could be a winning package when combined with border security measures.
