The issue of military aid to Ukraine is still up in the air as the country fights the Russian invasion that began last year.

The text adopted this weekend does not include provisions for Kyiv, despite calls by the White House and Senate to include it.

Still, Democrats are expected to pass a separate aid measure in the coming days, though it is unclear whether such a package would include the $24 billion that President Joe Biden originally sought.

A group of far-right Republican House members say the money sent to Ukraine could be better spent dealing with the immigration crisis at the US-Mexico border.

And House Speaker McCarthy has said he would need some guarantees before introducing a new aid bill.
