Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesBipartisan members of Senate leadership on Saturday committed to a vote on further funding for Ukraine aid "in the coming weeks."
Bennet told reporters the bipartisan statement was exactly what he had hoped to see when he objected on the stopgap bill to keep the government open due to its lack of Ukraine funding.
In a separate statement, Bennet addressed the need for Senate leadership to reaffirm support for Ukraine.
Senate Leadership needed to reaffirm our bipartisan commitment to sustain funding for Ukraine.
The Senate Leadership has released such a statement, and, as a result, I voted to keep the government open," he said in the statement.
