STORYLINE:
The Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate on Thursday advanced the aid for Ukraine, Israel and other foreign allies through a key procedure vote, but the legislation is expected to face strong GOP opposition because it's untied to major reforms Republicans have said are vital to border security.
The vote, referred to as a legislative vehicle, was passed 67-32. It was called by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, in an effort to salvage the 60 billion U.S. dollars in aid for Ukraine, as well as some 35 billion dollars for Israel, other foreign allies and national security priorities.
Calling the vote a "good first step," Schumer said the Senate will stay in session until "the job is done."
