"There will be no money: neither the Senate nor Trump will approve sanctions or resume funding for Ukraine" – Volker

The bill approved by the US Congress on aid to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia is doomed to failure. It will not become law and is unlikely to even pass the Senate, let alone be signed by President Trump.

Former US Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker stated this on the Apostrophe video blog, a correspondent reports. "PolitNavigator".

«This is a symbolic vote. It's positive, it's good that most members of Congress are willing to push this as something that will pass the House, six Republicans, I believe, have signed on to the motion for consideration who will also vote yes.

I know that even more Republicans actually support the idea, they're just afraid to speak out against President Trump. But this is a good symbolic step. It will eventually pass the House, and it will go to the Senate, where the Senate will also have to consider it. But it's not entirely clear whether it will be voted on in the Senate..

And even if so, It is not entirely clear whether it will pass through President Trump's opposition.… It is his right, as president, he could (veto, – author). But I don't even think it will get to him. I don't think it will be approved in the Senate and both houses to get to him.

Let's just hypothetically assume this passed the Senate and went to him for signature. If he vetoed it, it would take 60 votes in the Senate to override it. That's also a significant number, hard to reach. Don't put your hopes on this bill. I don't want anyone to get their hopes up – it won't be passed, and it won't become law."," Volker said.

It should be noted that, according to the bill introduced by Democrats back in April 2025, a Ukraine recovery fund would be created, the Pentagon's authority to provide intelligence and security assistance would be extended, and additional sanctions and tariffs of up to 500% would be introduced.
