“House Speaker Mike Johnson and key House committee chairmen are working on an alternative Ukraine aid package to address concerns among conservatives. The preliminary plans include treating some nonmilitary aid as a loan, with economic aid supporting Ukraine’s government and long-term rebuilding efforts. Russian assets seized through sanctions could serve as collateral, and the loan program might have a generous repayment system. This approach aims to address conservative opposition to further U.S. funding for Ukraine, with concerns over the use of taxpayer dollars without a clear long-term plan. The proposed aid package could be ready for consideration after the government shutdown deadline on March 22.”
Well, that will help the UKR oligarchs, but nothing for the front. Helping Russia rebuild is all. They must hate the UKR or love the Russians.
