Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has been invited to speak to senators at a classified briefing Tuesday as aid to his country remains snarled in a partisan dispute over US border security, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced late Monday.

Schumer also set up a test vote on advancing a national security supplemental package including funding for Ukraine on Wednesday.
