Congress on track to pass Ukraine aid bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House and Senate worked Wednesday to quickly resolve their differences and send the White House a bill to sanction Russia and aid Ukraine to show U.S. displeasure with President Vladimir Putin’s military incursion into Crimea.

Lawmakers said the plan was to get one version accepted by both sides, pass it and get it to President Barack Obama’s desk as early as Thursday night. It was unclear whether the work could be finished that quickly.
