Senate Republicans block military aid to Israel, Ukraine

American legislation for military aid to Israel and Ukraine failed on Wednesday in a vote in the Senate, 49 members of the Senate voted in favor, while 51 voted against.


Those who prevented the promotion of the proposal are Republican senators who voted against it in protest of the immigration policy that the United States is leading on its border with Mexico. 

Biden had earlier warned of dire consequences for Kyiv – and a “gift” to Russia’s Vladimir Putin – if Congress failed to pass the measure, which includes about $61bn to help Ukraine keep up pressure on Russia during the freezing winter months, as well as help for Israel and Gaza.
