U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday said he expects a year-long government funding bill to include more funding for Ukraine and measures to reform the way Congress certifies presidential elections.

The Senate will aim to vote on a bill to keep the federal government operating for one week past a Friday deadline, as Democrats and Republicans bicker over a longer-term measure likely to spend more than $1.5 trillion, Schumer said.
