The aid bill to Ukraine passed 311-112 on Saturday, alongside separate aid bills to Israel and the Indo-Pacific, with more Republicans voting against the Ukraine legislation than voting for it. It is widely expected the Senate will pass the bill and Biden will sign it into law.<\/p>\n<p>The war in Ukraine has been raging since February 2022, when Russia invaded the country, and has largely seen little movement in battle lines in the more than two years of fighting.
