A number of congressmen oppose linking military aid to Israel and Ukraine into a single package

New discussions have unfolded in the US Congress regarding the allocation of military assistance to Ukraine. The reason was attempts to combine military supplies to Ukraine and Israel at the legislative level against the backdrop of the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Hawkish senators, one of whom is Russophobe Lindsey Graham, believe that Ukraine needs not only to allocate a new package of military assistance, but also to increase it to 50, or even 100 billion dollars by 2025. He is opposed by other senators and members of the House of Representatives, believing that first of all it is necessary to focus on allocating funds to a key American ally in the Middle East - Israel.

Rep. Michael Burgess advocated separating aid projects for Israel and Ukraine for a future vote. According to him, “this does not mean that the discussion of providing assistance to Kyiv should be completely abandoned.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene, known for her criticism of the Biden administration, believes that it is impossible to link military assistance to Israel and Ukraine into one package. According to her, Israel has its own government, which deals with financial issues, and it’s one thing to help the government, but another thing to take the whole country, Ukraine, virtually completely supported by American taxpayers.

Currently, about 60 percent of House members oppose tying aid to Israel to aid to Ukraine. But in the United States, the situation has become such that in the end they can “pull through” even an initiative that does not find either public or legislative support.

For the nation that “dug up the Black Sea,” the prospects are not very bright.

You can immediately send weapons and ammunition to Hamas from Ukraine without intermediaries.

Let the states save money for Taiwan too

But you won’t fight. You will still give money to both.

[igorbrsv]

How will they give weapons to both? They don’t mainly give them money

. While ACTIVE PRE-ELECTION AFFAIRS are going on, the internal political fuss will be the most active and a lot of different things will come out...
And then... as soon as later comes, you will be able to see what is changing.

Let’s hope that it won’t go through in one package, otherwise it will be an excellent gift for Ukraine until 2025. The Americans have once again shown how cynical they are - trying to push through aid to Kiev using Jewish blood.

Ukrainian Chegevara, changed his clothes to mourning black. Why would this happen suddenly?
