The U.S. House of Representatives approved $61 billion of military aid for Ukraine to help in its defense against Russia, after months of stalling. Billions were also allocated to allies like Israel and Taiwan.
In a bipartisan vote, 210 Democrats and 101 Republicans opted to support Ukraine, while a majority of GOP members, 112 Republicans, voted against it. This came about following Republican speaker Mike Johnson’s push for a series of bills, in the face of opposition from his own party— members of whom do not want to send any more money to Ukraine’s defense.
