Senate passes $95 billion aid package for Ukraine and Israel, fate uncertain in House

U.S. Senate passes $95 billion bill containing aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, sending the bill to Republican-controlled House of Representatives, where its chances of becoming law face long odds.

Lawmakers passed the measure with a 70-29 vote, comfortably surpassing the 60-vote threshold required for passage and forwarding the legislation to the House. Twenty-two Republicans sided with the majority of Democrats in endorsing the bill. With supporters arguing that abandoning Ukraine could embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin and threaten national security across the globe.
