WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pro-Ukraine U.S. congressional leaders and President Joe Biden's administration are near an agreement to seek a one-year extension of $6 billion in military aid for Ukraine that is due to expire this month, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
There is bipartisan support for the plan to include the extension of the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) in a Continuing Resolution, a short-term emergency spending bill that the Senate and House of Representatives must pass in the next 11 days to avoid a Sept. 30 government shutdown, they said.
