Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has invited House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to visit Ukraine, amid a growing divide among GOP lawmakers over whether the United States should continue to support the country’s efforts to fight off Russian invasion.
“Your money is not charity. It is an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way,” Zelensky said then.
Congress has appropriated billions in aid for Ukraine at the end of last year, which was expected to last through September.the United States and its allies to renew their resolve to help Ukraine as it stands up to Russian “thuggery,” tacitly pushing back against members of his own party who have become loudly skeptical of Ukraine’s fight.
“America and our friends need to finish waking up from our holiday from history, welcome Finland and Sweden into NATO by this summer, and make significant investments in military modernization and our defense-industrial capacities that are commensurate with the major challenges we face,” McConnell said.
McConnell’s support stands in stark contrast to former president Donald Trump and some congressional Republicans, who have called for ending or slowing aid to Ukraine. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , a hard-right ally of McCarthy and one of dozens of House Republicans to vote against Ukraine aid in May, called Biden’s trip to Kyiv “insulting” and proof that he “chose Ukraine over America.” Rep. Matt Gaetz has introduced legislation to end aid to Ukraine.
At a conservative forum last week, Greene said the U.S. should be pushing for peace in Ukraine"instead of funding and continuing a war that seems to be escalating and putting the entire world at risk of World War Three.”Every Ukrainian’s life has changed since Russia launched its full-scale invasion one year ago — in ways both big and small. They have learned to survive and support each other
