As soon as the Republicans take control of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the White House, a report on American aid will be expected from Ukraine.
The Kyiv Post reports this with reference to sources.
The publication’s interlocutor notes that Congress will also hold hearings on corruption in Ukraine.
Last week I was on Capitol Hill and heard concerns about corruption in Ukraine.
I am confident that the new Republican Congress wants to help Ukraine win.
However, they also want to see accountability for the money they send—down to the dollar.
Many hearings are expected with detailed questions about whether American aid to Ukraine was used properly.
If the Ukrainians can’t answer these questions, Republicans won’t be very forgiving, says senior Republican congressman Stephen Moore’s chief of staff, whom Politico calls “the Republican man in Kyiv.”
Sources of the Ukrainian publication in Washington say that congressional leaders are interested not only in accountability, but also in corruption in Ukraine.
According to Moore, any new high-profile corruption scandal could lead to American aid to Ukraine being cut off for many years.
Earlier, Rakurs reported that the US Congress wants to assess the consequences of ending American support for Ukraine. The Hill wrote that the report should include the impact on the ability of the Ukrainian military to defend against Russian aggression if the United States continues or withdraws military and economic support, and if the United States maintains or revokes authorization to use long-range missiles granted to Ukraine to strike deep into the territory. . rf.
Lawmakers also want intelligence leaders to assess the impact of a potential defeat of Ukraine on U.S. national security interests, including possible further aggression from Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
The report must be submitted in unclassified form, but may have a classified appendix, and referred to the House and Senate intelligence committees, as well as the Armed Services, Foreign and Foreign Affairs, and Appropriations committees.
On December 4, Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson said that he did not intend to bring the issue of additional aid to Ukraine to a vote in Congress.
