Reuters: US Democrats may bypass Trump override Trump veto to approve new aid to Ukraine if they win 2/3rds majority in both houses of Congress

That’s not bypassing, that’s using the Constitutional process when the opposition party more than 2/3rds majorities in both Houses of Congress. It’s just that Reuters is an English press agency and Regnum is Russian, so between them they’re a bit unsure about the subtleties of the American political system — it’s really not their fault.
[Regnum] Following the November elections and securing a majority of seats in Congress, the US Democratic Party may approve a new military aid package for Ukraine, overriding President Donald Trump's veto. Reuters reported this on October 25.

"That could allow them to approve new aid to Ukraine, which would likely pass with the two-thirds majority needed to override Trump's veto," the article says.

The agency recalled that the American leader had previously significantly suspended direct financial and military aid to Ukraine.

Elections to the US House of Representatives are scheduled for November 3. They will take place as part of the midterm congressional elections, which are traditionally held every two years at the midpoint of a presidential term.

With the arrival of the new US administration, supply volumes to Ukraine have decreased fivefold compared to the period under Joe Biden. The US has stopped disbursing new tranches from Pentagon stockpiles. The last aid package to Ukraine was allocated in January 2025, after which supplies have been provided only through long-term defense industry contracts.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that if Western arms supplies to Kiev are stopped, the conflict in Ukraine will end within two to three months.
