A split appeared in the United States over aid to Ukraine – media

The Republican Party, which is likely to gain control of the lower house of the US Congress, has formed two camps on the issue of providing aid to Ukraine.

In the US Republican Party, weeks before the November elections, in which the party could control the House of Representatives, there is disagreement over how long American aid should be given to Ukraine. On Wednesday, October 19, POLITICO reports in connection with the words of a representative of the US National Security Council.

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy – the likely GOP speaker next year – warned this week that he would cut US funding for Ukraine’s fight against Russia. This is not the first sign in the Biden administration that Republican lawmakers are wary of long-term financial support for Kyiv.

That said, for many in Congress, including some Republicans, McCarthy’s comments only reinforced the urgency of an aid package to Ukraine in December before a Republican is likely to lead the House of Representatives.

Biden aides believe McCarthy will leave the Ukraine aid option open, at least for the time being, though he could push for smaller aid. They also predict internal pressure from Republicans like Brian Fitzpatrick and Mitch McConnell to keep appropriating money. Their calculation is that if the money stops, Ukraine will suffer, and Russia emerges victorious, it will deal a political blow to the Republican Party. There are some indications that on this front the White House may have allies in the GOP-led Congress, or at least well-intentioned ones. Fitzpatrick, in particular, flatly rejected McCarthy’s comments that US aid should not be a “blank check.”

It is now clear that Republicans are increasingly divided between the McCarthy camp, which is hesitant about new multibillion-dollar benefits as the US economy heads into recession, and the McConnell camp, which remains in favor of more help.

POLITICO writes that Republicans and Democrats in general want to see more oversight and accountability when it comes to the weapons and equipment the US sends to Ukraine. They also want European countries to provide additional support so that the US does not have to bear all the burden.

The White House has not warned the Ukrainian government about the possibility of ending aid if Republicans control even one house of Congress. But White House aides say Kyiv is well aware of that possibility.

In addition, the White House has yet to publicly signal that the GOP’s latest signals changes in its plans for a “legislative sprint” that could be the last chance to put substantial aid to Ukraine in a mandatory spending bill. of the public.

Passed at the end of September, the government’s interim funding bill included $12 billion for Ukraine. The bill would allow funding for the government until Dec. 16 and give negotiators more time to agree on government spending for fiscal year 2023. Lawmakers hope they won’t have to consider additional aid in Ukraine until early 2023.

Some Democrats say December may be too early for Kyiv to know what types of weapons and other equipment it will need to fight the winter. According to Senator Chris Murphy, the administration may have no choice but to ask for more money in December, but “it may not be the best time for Ukraine. It’s a whole new world that Republicans are openly saying they’re getting ready to give the Ukraine to Putin.”

Earlier, the White House said that the United States will continue to support Ukraine after the congressional elections.
