The US House of Representatives passed the Ukraine Support Act on June 4, 2026, by a vote of 226-195. Eighteen Republicans crossed party lines to support the measure, joining 207 Democrats and one independent in defying the Trump administration’s preferred approach to the conflict.
It marks the first substantial pro-Ukraine legislative action during Trump’s second term. And it landed as the second foreign policy rebuke of the administration in a single week.
What the bill actually does
The legislation authorizes between $1.3 billion and $2 billion in security and military assistance to Ukraine. On top of that, it provides $8 billion in loans or authority for arms sales, a structure designed to keep the aid pipeline flowing without relying entirely on direct grants.
The bill imposes expanded restrictions targeting Russian oil and gas sectors, along with other areas of the economy that have been propping up Moscow’s war machine.
