Two former U.S. generals who led forces in Europe urged House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday to sustain American support for Ukraine’s military, saying Kyiv’s effort to repel Russian invaders is at a critical juncture.
Retired Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, the NATO commander from 2013-16, and former Army Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, commander of U.S. Army Europe from 2014-17, urged Mr. McCarthy not to bow to demands from his right flank, which is leery of throwing more dollars at the fight in Eastern Europe.
President Biden has requested an additional $21 billion for Ukraine as part of a broader emergency supplemental spending package.
