Description:

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation on Thursday to provide aid to Ukraine and impose new sanctions on ​Russia, the latest sign that some Republicans are willing to defy party leaders and push back ‌against President Donald Trump.

The House voted 226 to 195 for the Ukraine Support Act, which reached the floor after languishing for months. A handful of Republicans joined Democrats in signing a discharge petition to force the vote.
