The US Senate will not vote on the aid package for Ukraine before early next year

The United States Senate will not vote until early next year on a $106 billion package that includes additional aid to Ukraine and strengthening US border security.

Reuters reported this.  

In a joint statement, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said that negotiators are "making encouraging progress" but "challenging issues remain".

"Our negotiators are going to be working very, very diligently over the December and January break period, and our goal is to get something done as soon as we get back [from the recess]," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters.

Earlier, the White House warned that US aid to Ukraine would run out by December 30. By then, Joe Biden's administration plans to provide another package of financial assistance to Ukraine, which may be the last from the United States if Congress does not approve the allocation of new aid.

Earlier, Svidomi explained why Republicans and Democrats in the Senate could not reach an agreement on aid to Ukraine.
