Democrats in the US Congress are preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine worth about $15 billion, the Financial Times reports, citing aides to US congressmen.
One of the Democrats' top priorities in the new Congress will be a sanctions bill against Russia. US President Donald Trump previously suspended the effect of these sanctions.
Lawmakers also plan to strengthen oversight of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network, which Ukraine uses. After service disruptions, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent a letter to Musk demanding that he preserve all documents related to the network slowdown.
In addition, the Democrats want to examine the business interests of Trump's special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who are involved in the negotiations on Ukraine and Iran.
