Trump's years long crusade against Ukraine has finally come home to roost as Republicans call for abandoning Kyiv
Under the Trump administration, the US gave up it's leadership role in the world?!! If the pukes take the house they could stop US aid to Ukraine, hampering their efforts to take back their territory and defeat Russia too?!! If the pukes take the house nothing worthwhile will get done, only a lot of money spent on asinine investigations?!! I hope I'm wrong about the aid to Ukraine being cut too?!!
US aid to Ukraine could be in jeopardy if Republicans win the House in the midterms.
Several GOP lawmakers and candidates have signaled they would support reducing or cutting off Ukraine aid.
"Ukraine unfortunately has been hijacked sometimes in domestic politics. Now and then that happens," a Zelenskyy advisor told Insider.
But that level of support could be in jeopardy if the GOP gains control of the House of Representatives in this year's midterm elections.
The warning signs have been building for months.
In April, 10 House Republicans voted against a bill allowing the Biden administration to more easily lend military equipment to Ukraine. The following month, 57 House Republicans voted "no" on a nearly $40 billion aid package for Ukraine. Both measures ultimately passed the chamber.
"I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they're not going to write a blank check to Ukraine," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who's favored to become House Speaker if the GOP retakes the chamber, recently told Punchbowl News. "They just won't do it."
Ukraine has repeatedly defied expectations since Russia launched its unprovoked invasion, delivering a blow to the Russian military's prestige. With the help of Western aid and at a massive personal cost, Ukrainian forces prevented Russia from seizing Kyiv in the early days of the war and more recently launched a counteroffensive that's shown major signs of success.
But a far-right faction of the GOP has increasingly pushed against continued assistance to Ukraine, saying the billions the US has provided to Kyiv is too costly and not worth the risk of sparking a wider conflict with Russia.
