The trends are good: what are the chances of the US Senate approving the bill on Ukraine

The United States Senate voted to begin debate on a bill to help Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The vote was supported by 64 senators.

At the same time, the US Senate did not go on vacation, despite the huge holiday in the country. The head of the Vezha Center for Public Analytics, Valery Klochok, announced this 24 Channel, noting that on February 11, the United States celebrates the Super Bowl – the final of American football. By the way, the procedural vote for this draft law was supported on February 8.

“The senators really wanted to attend it. A number of Republicans went to do this, but they are now ordering food and will watch this Super Bowl. And during the breaks, work on the bill,” Klochok said.

The next vote will take place on Sunday, February 11. However, it will not be final. We are talking about amending the text of the bill. However, the final vote for this bill could take place on February 13 or 14.By the way, there are a number of Republicans who do not listen to the Trumpists who are inclined to block aid for Ukraine.

The chances of this document being approved are very high . I hope that there will be a productive vote for this document, because there are a number of Republicans who are ready to support it. The day before it was 67, this time 64. That is, the “reserve” is strong, normal,” noted the head of the Vezha Center for Public Analytics.

Backup option

In addition, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with US President Joseph Biden. They discussed, in particular, the issue of assistance to Ukraine. Like, suddenly it happens, that the American bill on assistance to Ukraine will be blocked.

“They were considering another option about financing arms supplies from the United States of America to Ukraine with funds from the European Union,” added Valery Klochok.
