US Congress Backers Secure Signatures to Force Ukraine Aid Vote

Supporters of the Ukraine aid bill and sanctions against Russia have collected the required number of signatures to force a floor vote in the US House of Representatives, according to AP News.

Reaching the necessary signature threshold will allow the measure to bypass the committee review process and bring the question directly to a full House vote. This increases the likelihood of the bill's passage despite potential resistance from House leadership.

The legislation includes new sanctions against Russia related to the war in Ukraine and allocates funds to provide assistance to Kyiv authorities.
