From Description - do not shoot the messenger:
"Ukraine is fighting not only for its own survival, but for freedom and security around the world. Western leaders seeking to end Vladimir Putin’s genocidal war should note that any deal legitimizing territorial gains by force in Ukraine will extinguish any hopes for freedom in Russia and Belarus and will endanger other countries in the region, many of them fledgling democracies vulnerable to incursion. Meanwhile, authoritarians around the world will conclude that they can pursue their imperial fantasies unchecked, threatening U.S. interests and increasing the chances of a wider war.

This hearing will examine the regional and global consequences of allowing Russia to claim victory in Ukraine. Witnesses will focus on Moldova, Armenia, and Belarus as countries where the effects of a Russian win will be immediate and could be existential. Witnesses will further discuss risks to the U.S.-led international order and the cost of countering a battle-hardened, emboldened Russian force on NATO’s border."

💥House wants to fast track “Ukraine Support Act”
Fast Track Bill HRes 518
by Rep. Meeks [D-NY-5]

HR2913
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2913/text
The Ukraine Support Act authorizes up to $8 billion in direct loans for Ukraine and NATO allies through fiscal year 2026 under the Arms Export Control Act. These loans, with principal amounts not exceeding $8 billion, are for security assistance, including military aid.
The cost of loans and loan guarantees can be covered by unobligated balances from prior appropriations under the "International Security Assistance—Funds Appropriated to the President—Foreign Military Financing". This means existing, unspent foreign military financing funds can be repurposed to support the loans, reducing the need for new appropriations.
Specific costs beyond the $8 billion loan authorization are not detailed, as the bill focuses on loan authority rather than direct appropriations.
The bill’s narrow scope and early legislative status suggest it is a targeted measure to sustain military support amid ongoing U.S. policy debates on Ukraine aid. The bill's text does not provide granular details on interest rates, repayment timelines, or default conditions.
