#BernieSanders blocked #Ukraine & #Israel aid bill, which would have passed, but for his single vote

He said "I do not believe we should be appropriating over $10 billion for the right-wing #extremist #Netanyahu government to continue its current military approach"

On Ukraine, #Biden said "#Republicans are willing to give #Putin the greatest gift he could hope for" adding this was no time for 'petty politics'. #US funds for Ukraine could soon run out
