Congressional Republican leaders are on track to steamroll the growing number of conservative lawmakers who want to stop funding Ukraine’s war effort, a move that’s sure to intensify the GOP divide over U.S. support for Kyiv
“There are some very loud voices over there,” Idaho Sen. Jim Risch said in an interview, referring to conservatives who oppose more assistance for Kyiv. | Evan Vucci/AP PhotoHALIFAX, Nova Scotia — ., an annual pro-democracy conference, revealed that Congress is likely to allocate well more than the $38 billion the Biden administration requested for Ukraine’s military and economic needs as part of a year-end governing funding bill.
The unified display of support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Halifax came as GOP leaders — especially in the House, where the party is about to take the majority — feel heightened pressure from their right flank to cut off additional funding for Ukraine.
“Is Ukraine now the 51st state of the United States of America? And what position does Zelenskyy have in our government?” Rep. asked sarcastically at a news conference the day before the Halifax conference began. “[Ukraine has] the opportunity during the winter to continue to make progress, to not let Russia re-supply, re-equip and re-arm and prepare for a spring offensive. They can only do that with military support from the West,” Sen. said in an interview here. “I think we should provide as robust a supplemental package as we possibly can, to remove doubt about whether that will happen in the next Congress.
