A bipartisan group of US senators is drafting a bill that would dramatically increase US military aid to Ukraine.

A group of five Democrats and five Republican senators made progress in negotiations on the bill, a source familiar with the talks told Reuters.

Their goal is to write a bill that will be passed by the Senate next week. To become law, it must also pass through the House of Representatives and be signed into law by President Joe Biden.

Lawmakers from both parties have said they want to act quickly to support Ukraine.

There is still disagreement between bipartisan senators, especially over whether sanctions should be imposed on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

They are also developing a plan on what sanctions should be imposed on Russia now and what should be imposed in the event of an invasion.
