Senator Blumenthal to Introduce Legislation Supporting Ukraine, Call for New US Negotiators, Starlink Controls
Blumenthal said Democrats are preparing a $15 billion aid package and new oversight measures for Starlink and Starshield as they press Russia sanctions.
- Following midterm election victories, Congressional Democrats are formulating a $15 billion military and energy assistance package for Ukraine, aiming to pass it through the National Defense Authorization Act during the post-election session.
- Supporters of aid to Kyiv are prioritizing emergency reinforcement for electrical and heating infrastructure amid escalating Russian strikes, "identifying emergency reinforcement for Ukraine's electrical and heating infrastructure as an immediate priority."
- Legislative riders will address oversight for SpaceX's Starlink and Starshield networks, while Democrats also plan to scrutinize special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner regarding foreign policy and Russian refined diesel waivers.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the Democratic victory, expressing hope for increased bipartisan support. "We don't want to have Yalta 2.0," Zelensky said, emphasizing Ukraine's commitment to defending its territory, including areas in the Donbas.
- Advancing these measures requires negotiation with Republican lawmakers to overcome potential vetoes. Beyond defense, Democrats intend to pursue changes to the Graham Sanctioning Russia Act, which previously passed the Senate by an 86-11 vote.
