On June 5, 2026, the Republican-led House passed a security package that provides military aid to Ukraine and imposes sanctions on Russia, with a vote of 226-195. Eighteen Republicans supported the Democrat-authored legislation, while Rep. Ilhan Omar was the only Democrat to oppose it. The bill aims to bolster Ukraine's defenses amid increasing Russian missile and drone strikes as the conflict continues.
The package includes over $1.5 billion in new security assistance and $8 billion in direct loans, and it targets Kremlin energy profits. The White House has indicated that President Trump would veto the measure, arguing it undermines his goal of resolving the conflict. Supporters of the bill, such as Rep. Wilson, stated that their vote aligns with supporting Ukraine, while opponents expressed concerns about the bill's implications for U.S. foreign policy and funding. The legislation will now move to the Senate for consideration.
