What's happened
House Republicans are stalling a bipartisan Senate bill providing aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, as Ukraine faces a dire military situation.
Why it matters
The stalling of the aid package is significant as Ukraine faces a dire military situation and is running low on supplies, with the Biden administration directly blaming Congress's inaction for the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from a city they had been defending from a Russian advance for months.
What the papers say
The New York Times emphasizes the dire military situation in Ukraine and the Biden administration's direct blame on Congress's inaction. The Independent highlights the frustration and implores Speaker Mike Johnson to find his conscience and bring the legislation up for a vote. Axios provides insights into the bipartisan efforts and the refusal of House Speaker Mike Johnson to hold a vote on the aid package.
How we got here
The Senate overwhelmingly passed a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, but House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are refusing to hold a vote on the bill, despite bipartisan support in the Senate.
