About this informs “European truth”.
One of Spartz’s edits offers to remove from the draft law provisions related to the PDA program – it allows the White House to allocate weapons to Ukraine directly from the warehouses of the American army. House Speaker Mike Johnson’s bill calls for $7.8 billion.
Spartacus offers exclude mention of more than $7.8 billion in loan assistance and forbid to the US president to write off Ukraine’s debt under certain conditions. These two amendments concern the economic assistance to Ukraine included in Johnson’s project.
Fourth Amendment Congresswomen forgive exclusion from the US Department of Health’s $481 million refugee funding package, and the fifth offers prohibit the use of funds under the FMF program (ordering weapons directly from manufacturers for the needs of a US ally) to “countries affected by the war in Ukraine”.
We will remind that after speaker Mike Johnson announced his proposals for funding for allies, in particular Ukraine, Spartz wrote on its page in X that it is not ready to vote for the allocation of any other funding for Kyiv, except for the supply of weapons. Spartz wrote that she would not support “sending money to the Ukrainian government – only lethal aid.”
