US Senate Passes Bill on Assistance to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan

The US Senate on Tuesday passed a bill on $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
In total, 70 senators voted in support of the bill, while 29 voted against.

The assistance package includes approximately $60 billion for Ukraine and some $14 billion for Israel. 

Last Wednesday, the Senate blocked a larger $118 billion package, which included border policy measures alongside foreign and national security funding.

The $95.3 bill, in turn, includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion in security assistance for Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza, and $4.8 billion to support US regional partners in the Indo-Pacific.
