Military support for Kyiv is not charity, but cold, hard American interest, says Mitch McConnell.

Military support for Ukraine is in the national interest of the United States. The Republican leader in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, said this in a speech to Congress on Wednesday, January 24, Ukrinform reports.

“Here (on the issue of support for Ukraine – ed.) it’s not about charity or abstract principles of international relations. It’s about cold, hard American interests,” McConnell said.

According to him, the direct interest of the United States is to prevent authoritarian regimes from redrawing the map of the world using force.

“It is in our interests to help reduce the military capabilities of a significant adversary without sacrificing American lives. It is in our interest to deter aggressive behavior before it sparks a wider conflict and directly threatens our closest allies and trading partners,” McConnell said.

He emphasized that America could not pretend to be inoculated against the consequences of war in Europe. In addition, the United States cannot afford to think that a lack of response to Russian aggression will somehow strengthen America’s position and strategic competition with China.

The Republican leader of the Senate also noted that accelerating the defeat of Russia in Europe will definitely help the United States to avoid simultaneous aggression from adversaries in Europe, as well as in the Indo-Pacific region.

We remind you that on December 27, the United States announced the provision of the last package of military aid to Ukraine in 2023, worth $250 million.

US President Joe Biden asked Congress in October to approve additional funding, including more than $60 billion for Ukraine. But Republicans are still blocking it because of partisan differences on the issue of border security with Mexico.
