Almost immediately after the announcement, activism groups and other political figures either expressed their condemnation or celebration of the decision.
Former President Donald J. Trump announced Monday that he was selecting Ohio Senator JD Vance as his Vice President for the 2024 Presidential Election. Almost immediately, activism groups and other political figures either expressed their condemnation or celebration of the decision.
Jaskiw, current president of the United Ukrainian Organizations of Ohio, has worked with the group for over 10 years. The organization specializes in advocacy for foreign policy on the local and national levels by providing information and speaking directly to representatives. He opened up his statements by reflecting on current events.
"As the American defense budget nears $1tn per year, we ought to view the money Europe hasn’t spent on defense for what it really is: an implied tax on the American people to allow for the security of Europe," the letter reads. He continues on to call the Ukrainian and European armed forces"weak" and that pulling aid would force them to"stand up on their own two feet.
Despite these comments, Jaskiw is confident that he would be able to work with Vance and other politicians to keep aid flowing to Ukraine. "We can pay a little bit now and keep our troops at home or we can pay a whole lot later and risk blood and treasure in the plains of Europe," Jaskiw said.
