Congressmen ended their work week early and took a break for nearly two weeks without considering the bill to help allies.
The US House of Representatives went into recess until February 28, without considering a bill to help allies, including Ukraine, Voice of America reports.
So, a solution to the issue should not be expected in the coming weeks. Moreover, when lawmakers return to work at the end of February, the main issue will once again be avoiding a shutdown in the United States.
It was previously reported that the US Congress is discussing two “Plan Bs” on the issue of aid to Ukraine. One of the ways to get a bill approved is through a procedure that puts issues to a vote, bypassing committees and the speaker.
As you know, on February 13, the US Senate supported a package that provides more than $60 billion for Ukraine – mainly military aid. But the Senate’s decision to appropriate the money is not enough – the bill must be passed by the House of Representatives.
