The US House of Representatives passed H.R. 2913, the Ukraine Support Act, on June 4 with a vote of 226-195. Eighteen Republicans crossed the aisle to support the legislation, making it the clearest bipartisan rebuke yet of President Trump’s approach to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The bill authorizes over $1 billion in direct security and reconstruction assistance for Ukraine, plus up to $8 billion in loans through the Foreign Military Financing program. It also slaps new sanctions on Russian oil companies, mining firms, financial institutions, the state nuclear corporation Rosatom, and specific Russian officials.
What’s in the bill
The Ukraine Support Act is the first comprehensive Ukraine aid and sanctions package to pass in the 119th Congress. It was introduced on April 14, 2025, and spent more than a year winding through committee before reaching the House floor.
The Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, a Pentagon-run program that has been the primary pipeline for US military aid to Kyiv, gets extended until 2027 under the legislation.
