WASHINGTON – The quickest way to get $6.4 billion in humanitarian and security aid to Ukraine is to include in the upcoming omnibus spending bill, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday.
“We’re going to work on a bipartisan, robust aid package with both military and security needs. There are very good discussions going on about that right now. The best place to include it is in the upcoming omnibus bill and that’s what we intend to get done,” the Democratic leader told reporters.
He said the omnibus bill “is the quickest way to get it done.”
