House Of Reps To Vote On Ukraine 'Lend-Lease' Today

US

12:00 ET 17:00 BST: The US House of Representatives will take up the bill to create a lend-lease program for Ukraine.

  • First votes are expected to take place between 13:15 ET 18:15 BST and 14:00 ET 19:00 BST with final votes likely to take place by 16:00 ET 21:00 BST.
  • If the bill passes it would allow for the rapid expedition of military aid to Ukraine and remove much of the Congressional red tap which has stalled previous aid packages.
  • Both GOP and Democrats have accused the opposing side of the aisle of attaching partisan political demands to Ukraine funding.
    • The GOP believes that Democrats are using political will for Ukraine to push COVID-19 relief funding through Congress.
    • Democrats have accused the GOP of leveraging Ukraine funding to extent Title 42 immigration policy.
  • The passage of a lend-lease program would allow the Pentagon to sidestep some of these partisan disputes.
  • Lend-lease would compliment a new measure set to be announced by President Biden shortly to allocate funds from the liquidation of Russian oligarch assets to the Ukrainian war effort.
