Several Republicans vote with Democrats to pass Ukraine aid, Russia sanctions package

The House passed a measure to provide almost $2 billion in aid to Ukraine and impose new sanctions against Russia Thursday, sending the measure to the Senate behind a 226-to-195 tally — despite GOP leadership in full opposition to the measure.

Eighteen Republicans voted in favor of the bill — creating a bipartisan majority — although Democrats carried most of the water on the vote.

Just one Democrat, Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, opposed the measure.
