A handful of conservative advocacy organizations are raising questions about the continuous flow of aid to Ukraine as Kyiv's successful counteroffensive in the east continues.
The calls for funding to Ukraine to cease came after the White House announced a request of $11.7 billion for security and economic assistance for the first fiscal quarter of 2023 and another $2 billion to help reduce energy costs that have been affected by Russia’s invasion.If Congress approves this new set of funding, it would increase the total aid approved to more than $67 billion. It approved $13.6 billion in March and $40 million in May.
“Continued U.S. aid to Ukraine should be connected to clear U.S. national interests and a strategy to end the bloodshed while avoiding the risks of escalation with a nuclear-armed Russia,” he added. “The Biden administration so far has failed to articulate a clear end-state for its Ukraine policy, and as a result, the Congress should not rubber-stamp this aid request.
“This new package will prolong a fight that lacks an American dog, allowing regional allies to shirk their security responsibilities yet again,” he added. Lumping in funding for Ukraine with more spending on coronavirus relief, new spending on monkeypox, and natural disaster funding, she argued that"these funding requests ignore the concerns of the American people, and President Biden refuses to answer basic questions regarding fiscal responsibility and appropriateness of his funding requests. Further, U.S. support for Ukraine deserves an open and honest debate without liberal congressional leadership using funding for the U.S.
