House leadership remains at a standstill on an expansive national security package, but appropriators inserted $300 million for Ukraine into the fiscal year spending bill that’s now speeding through Congress.
Rep. Marcy Kaptur, a Democrat on the House Appropriations defense subcommittee and chair of the House Ukraine Caucus, said the funds were added with the full, bipartisan support of the subcommittee.
“We’re hopeful that this will provide them with a bridge until we can provide the additional support,” Kaptur said.
