Congressional party leaders reach consensus on aid to Ukraine and Israel

During a Sunday phone call between United States President Joe Biden and Congressional leaders, a "consensus" was reached regarding the need for swift action by lawmakers to provide aid to Ukraine and Israel, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Report informs via RBC-Ukraine.

The American senator expressed "hope" at a press conference in New York that "something can be accomplished this coming week to aid both countries."

Earlier on Sunday, April 14, Biden spoke with Senate Majority Leader Schumer, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

According to Schumer, the best way to send aid to Ukraine and Israel is to consider and pass the additional national security package approved by the Senate, which includes assistance to both countries. This refers to the $95 billion package approved by the Senate in February, which Johnson has yet to bring to a vote.
