The initiative was supported by 18 Republicans, indicating a split in President Trump's party. However, the fate of the document in the Senate remains uncertain, and a possible presidential veto casts doubt on its further implementation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>The U.S. House of Representatives passes a bill to help Ukraine and impose new sanctions on Russia.<\/li>\n<li>The draft law provides for more than $1 billion in aid and up to $8 billion in loans.<\/li>\n<li>18 Republicans supported the initiative along with Democrats.<\/li>\n<li>The Senate is not yet considering the bill due to the position of Republican leaders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The US House of Representatives' decision on Ukraine and Russia<\/h2>\n<p>The US House of Representatives passed the Ukraine Support Act by a vote of 226 to 195. This was after a long filibuster, with 18 Republicans and one independent joining the Democrats. The bill provides over $1 billion in aid to Ukraine and up to $8 billion in direct loans. About. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/us-house-backs-russia-sanctions-ukraine-aid-latest-blow-trump-2026-06-05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports<\/a> Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>The law contains tough sanctions and export controls against Russia, including financial institutions, the extractive industry and officials. These measures are intended to increase economic pressure on Moscow in the context of its war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n<h2>Political context and internal divisions in the US<\/h2>\n<p>The support for the bill from some Republicans is indicative of a growing split in Trump's party. After Trump's return to the presidency in 2025, some of his closest allies in Congress have cooled in their support for Kyiv. The president retains control over sanctions decisions within his administration, sidelining Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, another group of Republicans supported a resolution demanding <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/politics\/palata-predstavnikiv-obmezhuie-trampa-iranu\/\">withdrawal of troops<\/a> out of the conflict with Iran without congressional approval, underscoring the political fragmentation around foreign policy.<\/p>\n<h2>Prospects for passage in the Senate and Ukraine's response<\/h2>\n<p>So far, the Senate is not considering the Ukraine Support Act. Republican leaders in the upper chamber have postponed the vote, awaiting guidance from the Trump administration. If passed by the Senate, the law could be vetoed by the president.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Olga Stefanishyna<\/strong>, Ukraine's ambassador to the United States, called the vote an important step that demonstrates bipartisan support for Kyiv. This comes amid a slowdown in US aid to Ukraine, despite the ongoing fighting and the failure of peace talks with Russia.<\/p>\n<h2>International context and EU support<\/h2>\n<p>The European Union agreed to start negotiations with Ukraine on the first clusters of issues for<a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/politics\/yes-perehovory-pro-vstup-ukrainy-u-chervni\/\"> accession to the EU<\/a>. It also approved the allocation of \u20ac90 billion to strengthen Ukraine's defence and economy. These steps underscore international solidarity with Kyiv amid the ongoing war.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, the US bill is part of broader Western support for Ukraine, although internal political divisions in Washington leave its future in doubt.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0430\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0430
