The proposed $61 billion funding for Ukraine in a spending package fails to include corruption prevention and transparency measures, a group of GOP senators said during a discussion with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy ahead of a key procedural Senate vote on Monday night.

Sens. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) joined Mr. Musk and Mr. Ramaswamy to criticize funding Ukraine with no strategy to conclude the war.
