                                Ukraine

  Madam President, also in the coming weeks, the Senate must make 
progress on several pressing legislative priorities. We must, for one, 
continue helping the people of Ukraine in their fight against Russian 
aggression.
  Last Thursday, President Biden announced the emergency funding 
Congress approved in March is close to running out, and he is expected 
to make another request to Congress later this week. Two months into 
the war, Putin's hopes for a quick takeover have all but extinguished, 
thanks to the bravery of the Ukrainian people and to the aid that the 
U.S. and other countries have provided the Ukrainians in the form of 
Javelins, Stingers, and other critical weapons.
  But as we all know, the fight is far from over. We must make sure the 
Ukrainian people continue to have the help they need for as long as 
they need it. Approving additional aid for Ukraine is a must, and I 
expect swift bipartisan cooperation to get it done.
