The Democrat-controlled Senate on Tuesday approved and is now making the final pass for the Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan supplemental aid package, which advanced last week in the House.
Overwhelmingly, senators, including 29 Republicans, voted to keep the aid to $95 billion, which would be an astounding $61 billion for Ukraine, $26 billion for Israel, and $8 billion for Taiwan, reported The Hill.
