The US House defeated conservative Republicans’ efforts to cut off security assistance to Ukraine, cementing a wall of support across both political parties for that country’s fight against Russia’s invasion, Bloomberg reports.
A group of far-right Republicans insisted on considering a slew of amendments that would have banned any security assistance to Ukraine, eliminated $300 million in the annual defense policy bill for training and equipping Ukrainian soldiers, and conditioned any aid to Ukraine on a report detailing the strategy for US involvement.
