The House Of Representatives Has Moved Further

A bill on assistance to Kyiv is ready for a warehouses.

As expected, almost simultaneously with the protest against Trump’s Iranian adventure, Congress began demanding that resources be redirected to the war with Russia in Ukraine.

This is being done despite the reluctance of Republican leaders to act against the wishes of President Trump, who still considers aid to Ukraine a waste of time and energy.

By a majority vote (218 to 204), the House of Representatives decided to remove the so-called Ukraine Support Act from the Committee on Foreign Relations and send the bill to the full House for a vote.

The Ukraine Support Act was drafted back in 2025, but Trump’s reluctance to help Kyiv with money and weapons from Pentagon warehouses stalled all attempts to pass it.

Now Congress has smelled blood in the water and is rushing to exercise its authority. The act provides for $8 billion in military financing loans to Ukraine, an extension until 2027 of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which allows the US to supply Ukraine with weapons directly from Pentagon warehouses, and the imposition of additional sanctions against Russia, among other measures.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-S.C.) and Senate Republican Leader John Thune remain opposed to voting against President Trump’s wishes, but as recent votes have shown, many Republicans have begun to break free from the leadership and act directly against the president.
