The GOP takeover of the House won’t affect U.S. military aid to Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy predicted Wednesday, brushing off concerns that the chamber’s incoming Republican majority could try to trim American financial backing for Ukraine‘s war effort.
Speaking alongside President Biden at the White House, Mr. Zelenskyy thanked the U.S. for the more than $21 billion in military aid that America has provided since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last February. The latest installment came Wednesday when the Biden administration announced another $1.85 billion in assistance, including the first delivery of a U.S. Patriot missile defense system.
Mr. Zelenskyy made clear he expects that aid to keep flowing even after Republicans take control of the House next month.
“Regardless of changes in the Congress, I believe there will be bipartisan and bicameral support,” the Ukrainian president said, putting the need for such aid in stark terms.
“We need to survive this winter,” he said. “We need to protect our people. … This is a key humanitarian issue for us right now. This is the survival issue.”
“$100 billion to Ukraine. Let’s put that in perspective. That’s more than $200 million this year from each congressional district,” Rep. Thomas Massie, Kentucky Republican, said in a Twitter post Wednesday. “What could your congressman have done for your district with $200 million? How long will the kids in your district be paying interest on this debt?”

It is not aid. It is graft. 99% will end up in the bank accounts of the politicians.
If McCarthy is elected Speaker, it will continue. Eight months ago he voted to send $40 billion to Ukraine.
I’m sure the FBI spied and gathered enough dirt on the RINOs to ensure a yes vote.
“... thanked the U.S. for the more than $21 billion in military aid that America has provided “
$21 billion? Is there some $40 billion or so slipping through the cracks?
What an @$$hole, but more so our politicians.

This is so disgusting, its hard to believe.
☑️⬆️
I believe Zelensky is correct. The Us and Europe will continue to support Ukraine until putin calls it quits or is defeated.
.
Yeah, coincidentally, they voted to have no IG or oversight of the money.
Imagine that.
.
Total demonic possession.
I’ll bet he is...
The GOP is full of lapdogs
Every politician who is willing to support Ukraine should be given a gun and shipped over there.
How come Russia is losing then?
Russians and FR-Putinistas say that Russia is fighting NATO because of the weapons sent to Ukraine and that explains their pathetic performance.
If only 1% of the weapons make it there as you said, then what is beating the Russians?
Maybe giving money to the Ukraine would be less offensive if we weren’t being invaded on our southern border right now. For all the people obsessed with comparing everything to WW2 it’s like giving money to Churchill but allowing the Japanese to take over California
The Big Guy looks like he is grabbing his wallet for his 10%
