US EditionSenate Pledges Economic Support for Russia-Ukraine Deal as Govt Funding Talks Stall
Donald Trump's statements and actions increase uncertainty in Ukraine peace negotiations, affecting international diplomatic efforts amid ongoing conflict, analysts say.
- The U.S. Senate, amid ongoing peace talks in Washington, pledged support during discussions between Russia and Ukraine, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune supporting negotiations.
- Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, Congress has passed five aid bills, with Senate leaders united despite a funding deadlock.
- While offering support for Ukraine, lawmakers have relied on three consecutive continuing resolutions to fund agencies through Sept. 30, as appropriations talks stalled before the Sept. 30 funding deadline.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warned he could trigger a government shutdown unless all 12 appropriations bills pass Congress.
- Facing limited time, legislators are poised to pass a short-term continuing resolution, and if lawmakers choose another stopgap measure, Congress will have punted on funding again.
