US Senate Fails to Pass Ukraine and Israel Funding, Leaving Ukraine Vulnerable to Russian Influence

The Senate is likely to recess without passing the Biden administration's $106 billion national supplemental security package, which includes funding for Ukraine, Israel, and border security. Senate Republicans have been pushing for stricter border security policies to be included in the package, while Democrats argue against policy changes. A deal on border security is unlikely to be reached this week, and Republicans have signaled a shift in support for Ukraine's defense. President Biden has accused Republicans of prioritizing political issues over bipartisan compromise. The Senate's last full day is expected to be Thursday, and they will not return until January 9th.
