A Republican senator is demanding more explanation from President Joe Biden. In particular, it is not clear to him what goal Kyiv can achieve by receiving $61 billion.
Ukraine must come to terms with the fact that Russia occupied part of its territory. Such an outcome to the Russian-Ukrainian war fully meets the interests of the United States. And to get the funding package for 2024, you need to explain something additional. On a new statement from Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance, who supports this position, it says in a Newsweek article.
Important Air defense systems and shells: the United States allocated $250 million in aid to Ukraine
The portal’s journalists turned to J.D. Vance, who in early December 2023 stated that Ukraine needed to cede territory. In his opinion, this “best serves America’s interests.” Since the American politician’s speech, the US House of Representatives has again rejected the $61 billion aid package for Ukraine; the Republican was asked to clarify his position.
Vance explained what exactly worries his party colleagues. According to him, they would like “clear statements of ambition.” In particular, the government of President Joe Biden must explain what goal Ukraine will achieve by receiving exactly this amount of funding.
“What we’re saying to the president, and really to the world, is that you need to be clear about your ambition. What will $61 billion accomplish, as opposed to $100 billion?” – said the politician.
US assistance – details
It should be noted that in the fall of 2023, President Joe Biden proposed that Congress allocate $61 billion to Ukraine, which would be enough for its defense in 2024. The money was allocated in conjunction with other expenses – to help Israel, Taiwan and resolve migration issues. The House of Representatives twice did not support the allocation of this package. In December 2023, senators from the Democratic and Republican parties consulted to agree on a positive vote. As a result, the issue was not resolved and we went on Christmas vacation.
We remind you that on December 29, 2023, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine, and air defense forces shot down 80% of Russian targets. One of the Russian missiles flew into Polish territory and the Polish military never neutralized it. Experts explained which objects in Poland might be of interest to the Kremlin.
