Republicans who voted for the legislation included Reps. Mike Lawler of New York, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Glenn Thompson of Ohio, Andrew Garbarino of New York, Joe Wilson of South Carolina and Carlos Gimenez of Florida.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation would extend the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) through 2027, which permits the U.S. to send weapons from Pentagon stockpiles directly to Ukraine. It would also expand restrictions on financial institutions that conduct business with Russian officials and state enterprises, as well as crack down on entities that help Russia evade existing sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. has allocated approximately $188 billion in funding and emergency support for Ukraine since the war began in February 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation came to the floor via Democratic New York Rep. Gregory Meeks\u2019 discharge petition, which crossed the 218-vote threshold and forced a vote on the bill. Speaker Mike Johnson urged his colleagues to vote against the discharge petition during a closed-door House Republican conference meeting Wednesday, a source familiar with the meeting told the Daily Caller News Foundation. <strong>(RELATED: GOP Rep Reportedly Floats More Ukraine Money As Washington Considers Blowing $200 Billion On Iran)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump, Johnson and other Republicans have repeatedly called for the war in Ukraine to end.
