The U.S. House of Representatives recently cleared H.R. 2913—the Ukraine Support Act—on June 4, 2026, with a vote of 226 to 195. The bill passed at 8:08 p.m. Eastern Time after the Clerk recorded the roll call.

While President Trump has pushed for diplomatic talks between Russia and Ukraine in recent weeks, the House advanced another aid-and-sanctions package requiring support from 18 Republicans to secure its passage. Democrats supplied 207 yeas, with Republicans splitting 18 yea and 194 nay. Without those 18 Republican votes, the bill would not have passed.

Sponsored by New York Democrat Gregory Meeks, the legislation authorizes $8 billion in loan authority for Ukraine and NATO allies through fiscal year 2026, alongside security and reconstruction funding. It also imposes sanctions on Russian financial institutions, oil and mining operations, Rosatom, SWIFT, sovereign debt, and Russia-North Korea cooperation.

The 194 Republicans who voted no understood President Trump’s goal: to end the war, not fuel it. Rep. Thomas Massie highlighted the fiscal impact on taxpayers for those who opposed the bill. The 18 Republican supporters must now explain their alignment with a near-unanimous Democratic bloc over the President’s diplomatic efforts, placing them directly at odds with his strategy for peace negotiations.
