This is evidenced by the voting results; the meeting was broadcast on the website of the upper chamber of the legislative body.

The bill provided for the allocation of $60.06 billion to Ukraine, $14.1 billion to Israel. $20.23 billion was allocated to ensure border security.

The day before, US President Joe Biden expressed disappointment that a bill to allocate money for arms supplies to Ukraine and on US border security would probably not even make it to a vote in the Senate.

His speech came after the Republican leadership in the US House of Representatives rejected a bill combining proposals to secure American borders and to allocate new money for arms supplies to Ukraine.
