US House backs Russia sanctions and Ukraine aid, a blow to Trump

The Missoulian notes that the U.S. House has backed new sanctions on Russia. The same vote also approved additional aid for Ukraine. The action is described as a setback for President Trump. Lawmakers supported the measures despite political tensions. The sanctions target Russian activities linked to the conflict. Aid is intended to reinforce Ukraine’s defense and humanitarian efforts. The development underscores congressional opposition to the President’s stance. The bill now moves forward for further legislative steps.
