The House voted 226-195 to pass the Ukraine Support Act, a measure that would authorize more than $1 billion in assistance for Ukraine along with up to $8 billion in loans to help the country continue defending itself and rebuilding infrastructure damaged during the war. The legislation also includes expanded sanctions and export restrictions targeting key sectors of the Russian economy, including financial institutions, energy operations and mining industries. Eighteen Republicans joined Democrats and an independent lawmaker in supporting the bill.

The vote marked a rare bipartisan effort that bypassed House leadership after supporters used a discharge petition to force the legislation onto the floor. The action reflected growing concern among some lawmakers about the pace of U.S. support for Ukraine since President Donald Trump returned to office in 2025. Congressional supporters of the measure argue that continued assistance remains important as Russia's invasion, launched in 2022, enters its fifth year and peace negotiations remain stalled.
