Rand Paul won't support legislation to fund government if it includes Ukraine money

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said he won't support any stopgap spending measure that congressional leaders are pushing to pass before Sept. 30, the deadline before a government shutdown begins, if it includes funding for Ukraine.

"Today I'm putting congressional leadership & @POTUS on notice that I will oppose any effort to hold the federal government hostage for Ukraine funding," Paul said on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. "I will not consent to expedited passage of any spending measure that provides any more US aid to Ukraine."
