Discussions are ongoing within the US Democratic Party regarding the preparation of a new $15 billion military aid package for Ukraine. In parallel, politicians plan to consider strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia. This was reported by the Financial Times.
Energy sector support and legislative framework
One of the priority areas of support is cited as assistance to Ukraine's energy sector ahead of the winter period. Democrats plan to provide additional funding and other support measures in the annual US defence policy law. This document is to be adopted before the end of the current Congress's term.
Other areas of military aid
Among the other areas under discussion are providing Ukraine with interceptor missiles for air defence systems, sharing intelligence data, and supporting the operation of the Starlink satellite communication system.
Limited influence capabilities
At the same time, Democrats' ability to influence decision-making remains limited. To overcome a presidential veto on legislative initiatives, they will need the support of some Republicans.
