Senate negotiators were working to meet a self-imposed deadline of Sunday evening to hammer out a framework for border-security measures that Republicans have demanded as a condition of passing Democrats' $110.5 billion aid package containing new funding for Ukraine.
The aid package is seen by President Biden and much of Congress as crucial to keeping Russia from gaining a critical advantage almost two years into Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Lawmakers have been at an impasse for months, after GOP lawmakers said that any efforts to help Ukraine must also include provisions to stop a historic level of illegal migration at the U.S. southern border.
