A classified briefing on Ukraine's aid package turned into a heated debate among U.S. senators, with several Republican senators walking out after Ukrainian President Zelenskyy cancelled his appearance. The briefing was intended to address the administration's funding request for Ukraine and Israel, but the discussion quickly shifted to the issue of immigration policy at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The situation in Ukraine is reportedly dire, with the country running out of money. The failure to support Ukraine's security would be against U.S. interests, according to President Biden. The vote to block aid would also signal weakened U.S. resolve in Ukraine's war against Russia. The White House has warned that the U.S. must provide more aid for Ukraine in its war against Russia or risk increasing the likelihood of Russian military victories.
Senate Republicans are making their support for extra Ukraine funding contingent on Democrats accepting reforms of the asylum system. They are planning to block legislation to provide more than $61 billion in military and foreign aid for Ukraine because the package does not include immigration and asylum reforms. This has led to a stalemate in the Senate, with no bipartisan agreement in sight.
Despite Republican opposition, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to move ahead with a procedural vote on the president's supplemental package. Schumer has also offered to combine President Biden's request for emergency foreign aid with a bipartisan bill to crack down on the fentanyl supply chain. The absence of Ukrainian President Zelensky and the high tensions in the room underscore the historic consequences of abandoning Ukraine.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said: “It started off pretty bad ... a lot of tension in the room because nobody talked about the border. In case you don’t have a television or you’ve been living in a cave, you would know that most Republicans feel like we need to address the broken border.”
