The Senate approved the package in a late-night session. There remains a tough fight in Deputies.
It involves 95.3 billion dollars for kyiv, Israel and Taiwan. The vote came after a small group of Republicans who opposed the $60 billion for Ukraine took the floor all night.

The dollars provided by the measure would be used to purchase American-made defense equipment, such as ammunition and anti-aircraft systems.
