Senate Ukraine Draft Measure Said to Include IMF Change - Bloomberg:



"Senate Democrats may boost International Monetary Fund resources in an aid package they’re preparing for Ukraine, potentially setting up a dispute with the U.S. House.



Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez said today lawmakers “are very close” to an agreement “at least in the committee” on an aid plan for Ukraine that would include the IMF funding.



Still, the committee delayed its planned consideration of the measure from tomorrow until March 12. “The IMF is the hangup” to an agreement on the measure, said Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican."
