The House approved H.R. 2913, the Ukraine Support Act, on June 4, 2026, with a vote of 226 to 195. The bill passed at 8:08 p.m. Eastern Time, requiring support from eighteen Republicans to secure its passage.
Democratic members secured 207 votes in favor, while Republicans cast 18 yes ballots and 194 no votes. The eighteen Republican supporters include Reps. Bacon (NE), Bresnahan (PA), Carey (OH), Fitzpatrick (PA), Garbarino (NY), Gimenez (FL), Hurd (CO), Joyce (OH), Kiggans (VA), LaLota (NY), Lawler (NY), McCaul (TX), Miller (OH), Murphy (NC), Newhouse (WA), Thompson (PA), Turner (OH), and Wilson (SC).
Rep. Michael McCaul, one of the eighteen who voted yes, described the support as a “vote of conscience.” The legislation, sponsored by Democrat Gregory Meeks of New York, authorizes $8 billion in loan authority for Ukraine and NATO allies through fiscal year 2026, alongside expanded sanctions targeting Russian financial institutions, energy sectors, Rosatom, SWIFT systems, sovereign debt, and Russia-North Korea cooperation.
President Trump has recently advocated for diplomatic engagement between Moscow and Kyiv to de-escalate the conflict. The approved aid package—despite his efforts—intensifies economic pressure on Russia while providing substantial financial support to Ukraine without advancing immediate peace negotiations.
The 194 Republicans who opposed the bill recognized the President’s goal to conclude hostilities rather than expand military backing. Rep. Thomas Massie, among those voting no, emphasized fiscal responsibility by stating the package would burden taxpayers.
The eighteen Republican supporters now face scrutiny from their constituents over aligning with a near-unanimous Democratic bloc against the President’s diplomatic initiatives.
