Aid to Ukraine: Democrats in Congress set deadline for consideration

The Democratic Minority Leader believes Speaker Johnson should release the Senate bill by the end of next week.

The House of Representatives must pass the Ukraine aid bill by the end of next week at the latest. Democratic Minority Leader in Congress Hakeem Jeffries said this in a briefing on Wednesday, March 13.

The congressman put a clear deadline to Speaker Mike Johnson and parliamentarians for the adoption of a package of financial assistance to Ukraine for defense needs.

“Time is running out, and we must finish this bipartisan national security bill before we leave town next Friday, March 22. It would be irresponsible not to,” Jeffries said.

By the way, former Chairman of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi also talked to Speaker Johnson about the relief bill.

“Lead, follow or get out of the way,” he said.

It was previously reported that the Republicans in Congress, instead of putting the Senate aid bill to Ukraine to a vote, decided to create an alternative bill in which part of the non-military aid is proposed to be allocated in the form of a loan However, a vote on this is not expected until April.

Meanwhile, the Democrats do not agree with this development of events and on March 12 began to collect signatures to introduce a $95 billion aid bill for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, which passed Speaker Mike Johnson. He has currently collected 177 signatures out of 218 required.
