"Senate Republicans Walk Out of Heated Briefing, Putting Ukraine Aid in Peril"

Senate Republicans, including Deb Fischer and Mitt Romney, walked out of a classified briefing on a defense spending package that includes aid for Ukraine and Israel, expressing frustration with the Biden administration's lack of answers on Ukraine. The Republicans are demanding immigration policy changes in the legislation, which has led to a partisan fight that could jeopardize the aid package. This raises concerns about whether Congress will continue providing aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion. The Biden administration is rapidly running out of Ukraine aid, with less than $5 billion remaining for transferring weapons and $1 billion to replenish weapons already sent. The administration is expected to run out of funds by the end of the year.
