Amendments to the draft law on Ukraine were not adopted
The House of Representatives of the US Congress is preparing to vote on a draft law on aid to Ukraine.
In particular, they rejected an amendment by Congresswoman Victoria Spartz, who proposed to exclude from the draft law provisions that would allow the White House to allocate weapons to Ukraine directly from the warehouses of the American army.
Congresswoman Kat Cammack's amendment, which proposed to cancel all non-military funding related to Ukraine, was also rejected.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green's proposal that "every dollar amount in this law be reduced to zero" was also rejected.
At the same time, Congressman Kevin Hern, who proposed to ban the use of funds from the "Economic Support Fund" to pay pensions, withdrew the amendment himself.
