Monday, May 16, 2022


US Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said he expected the Senate to vote on Wednesday to approve about $40B in proposed aid to help Ukraine repel Russia’s invasion after holding a related procedural vote on Monday. “We expect to invoke cloture, hopefully by a significant margin, on the motion to proceed on Monday, which would set us up to approve the supplemental aid on Wednesday,” McConnell told reporters on a conference call from Stockholm after visiting the Ukrainian capital on Saturday. He was referring to a procedural cloture vote, which caps further debate on a matter at 30 hours.
