Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warned that failure to pass the Senate border bill, which includes $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, could lead to U.S. troops being sent to fight in eastern Europe within a few years.
He emphasized the importance of aiding Ukraine to prevent Russian aggression and potential conflict in NATO ally territories.
Biden previously said, “If he keeps going and then he attacks a NATO Ally — well, we’ve committed as a NATO member that we’d defend every inch of NATO territory — then we’ll have something that we don’t seek and that we don’t have today: American troops fighting Russian troops,” Biden warned.

Schumer also highlighted the bill’s provisions for Israel and humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza.
He expressed concern about the chaos at the border and urged for the bill’s passage, while also attributing growing Republican opposition to former President Donald Trump’s influence.
Schumer warned of potential escalation in Ukraine, border issues, and Middle East conflicts if the bill is not passed.
Sen. Schumer said, “So this is crucial for America. It’s a turning point. History is going to look over our shoulders and say, ‘Did we rise to the occasion?'”
“To his credit Mitch McConnell did, but too many Republicans, including Speaker [Mike] Johnson are just scared to death of Donald Trump. Donald Trump has said he wants chaos. Donald Trump has said well wait till I become president that will take at least a year. Ukraine could be gone. The border will get much worse. War in the Middle East will get worse, maybe bringing us into it,” he continued.
