Congress has a plan in case the vote on providing aid to Ukraine fails.

The US Congress must approve a new aid package for Ukraine in January, said Mike Quigley, representative of the Democratic Party. He emphasized that “procedural methods” must be sought if this vote also fails.

“Again, our decision to help Kyiv sends a signal to both enemies and friends in NATO. I am very concerned that if we delay aid to Ukraine, many of our allies will do the same,” Quigley said.

Regarding contingency plans, the lawmaker emphasized that in case of repeated failure, trying to “release” a bill that contains an allocation for Ukraine is possible. A corresponding petition will allow the document to be put to a vote, exempting it from consideration by the committees.

“There are also clean funding bills that could fund Ukraine. I would push for that as a procedural alternative. I would push for other measures to provide a certain amount of funds for three to four months,” Quigley emphasized.

“It’s crucial to avoid gaps in aid,” he added.
