US House of Reps passes bipartisan bill providing additional USD $8bn assistance to Ukraine, additional sanctions against Russia

Washington, June 5 (UNI) The US House of Representatives had passed a bipartisan legislation providing fresh new aid to Ukraine and imposing additional sanctions against Russia, in a move that markedly clashes with the Trump administration's approach towards the ongoing four-year-long war.
The 226-195 votes included support from 18 Republicans, who joined all but one Democrat in approving the measure on Thursday.
The measure, known as the Ukraine Support Act, is sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, came to the House floor after enough Republicans crossed the aisle to side with Democrats and circumvent GOP leadership, which had prevented a vote on the legislation.
