"The Ukraine discharge petition, introduced by House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Greg Meeks (D-N.Y.), reached 218 signatures on Wednesday after Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-Calif.) signed on."
A House discharge petition for Ukraine support reached 218 signatures in the 119th Congress, enabling a vote likely after Memorial Day. The petition was introduced by House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Greg Meeks and gained a key signature from Rep. Kevin Kiley. All 215 Democrats signed, along with Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick and Don Bacon, both strong Ukraine supporters. The proposed measure would authorize $1.3 billion in military aid and other assistance and provide up to $8 billion in loans, while imposing new sanctions on Russia. Even if it passes the House, it faces major obstacles in the GOP-controlled Senate and from the White House, making enactment unlikely.
