What Schumer Said About House Voting

Democrat Chuck Schumer Says They Will Fight to Keep the House representatives voted for assistance to Ukraine. The politician assured that there are many very influential members of the House of Representatives.

And therefore, if Speaker Johnson had put it to a vote (document – Channel 24), this decision would have been made by a significant majority, in my opinion. And so we will do this. “We believe that we have a very good chance of doing this,” Schumer said.

It is worth noting that the media wrote that the document on the draft law refused to be voted on by the Republican and Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson. The politician criticized the draft law due to the fact that it does not contain provisions on border security.

The US House of Representatives went into recess on February 15, which will last until the end of the month.< /p>

What is known about the aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan

< li>The US Senate on February 13 voted for a $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Of this amount, more than $60 billion is planned to be allocated to help Kiev, 14 billion for Israel, 9.15 billion for humanitarian needs in Gaza, the West Bank and Ukraine, another $4.83 billion to support partners in the Indo-Pacific region together with Taiwan and to deter aggression from China.
• However, some Republicans are against aid to Ukraine. In particular, Politico wrote that the US Republican Party is afraid that the adoption of a bill on military assistance to Ukraine will tie the hands of Donald Trump if he is elected president, and in the worst case, will lead to his impeachment.
• The President of Ukraine, commenting on the likely lack of assistance from the United States, said that assistance from the United States is critically important for Ukraine. If Congress does not provide aid, the country will look for other options, but the cost may be too high. In particular, the President of Ukraine said that without US help we will have more soldiers in hospitals: “Will we survive? Of course. But not all of us.”
