"Biden Urges Ukraine Aid and Border Security Compromises Amid Funding Row"

President Joe Biden is urging Congress to pass a $110 billion aid bill for Ukraine, but Republicans are insisting on tying the aid to US immigration and asylum reforms. In an effort to push the bill through, Biden is offering compromises on border security. Concerns over the package grew after a classified briefing for lawmakers broke down, leading to tensions over border security and a cancellation of a virtual briefing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Senate Republicans are expected to reject a procedural vote, and even if it passes in the Senate, it faces an uphill battle in the House of Representatives. The aid is seen as vital for Ukraine's ability to resist Russia and retake occupied territory.
