In addition to Ukraine, the US international assistance bill also includes Israel and the states of the Indo-Pacific region.
The US Senate on Thursday, February 8, will again consider a “clean” bill to help Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan without immigration reform. The Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, Oksana Markarova, announced this on Thursday, February 8, on her Facebook page.
According to him, the big package (Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan/migration reform) was not supported due to the lack of votes for the migration reform agreement, which negotiators have been working on for the past few months.
“That is why, even before voting for the Big Package, the Appropriations Committee published the text of the “replacement” document, which provides exclusively for international aid to Ukraine ($60.06 billion) to Israel and Taiwan,” he said.
The Senate supported the procedural decision to review the voting decision, the diplomat said. A vote is required on the question of ending the debate and considering the merits of a “clean” US foreign aid bill without immigration reform. It requires 60 votes.
“The evening session is closed, Majority Leader Schummer said he intends to vote on the question of ending the debate on the US foreign aid bill, which includes Ukraine, Israel and the states of the Indo-Pacific region, at 12 noon in Washington . time (19:00 outside Kiev – ed.) February 8,” said the ambassador.
As we wrote earlier, according to media reports, the Senate will return to voting on the bill on aid to Ukraine and Israel and security measures on the southern border on the afternoon of Thursday, February 8, Washington time.
