The U.S. Senate will vote on May 16 to end debate on a controversial $40 billion aid package to Ukraine that was originally stalled over objections from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

The bill, the latest in a series of billion-dollar aid packages to the European nation, was blocked by Paul on May 11, even though House and Senate leaders were unanimous in their agreement to proceed with passing the package.
