Nearly 18 months ago, Russia, after months-long border standoffs, launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The resulting conflict has been characterized by the resilience of Ukraine against Russian aggression, thanks in large part to extensive financial and military support from Western powers. The campaign waged by Moscow, riddled with military setbacks, has not deterred Ukraine’s tenacity or the American people’s unwavering support for Ukraine’s victory over Russia.
The unwavering commitment of the U.S. to Ukraine’s sovereignty has been a consistent pillar of American foreign policy. President Biden, in February 2023, reiterated this commitment by declaring that “America will stand firmly beside Ukraine for as long as necessary.” However, while the Biden administration has made bold public statements regarding its support for Ukraine, its policy approach reveals a more cautious stance.

Pretty much. The FR warmonger brigade is composed of females and men too old to serve.
That pesky skin in the game again…
It’s about 57% of my county.
Iceland is physically beautiful in the Summer.
The people are very nice, but worldly delusional.
A month in Mogadishu would fix that.
Surprising to see the editor of the Kyiv Post express these sentiments
People know what their screens tell them to know.
Wait til Americans must sacrifice for President-for-life Zelenskyy there own lifestyle and young men and women. Wait for the coming draft and the body bags. In the Iraq war we lost 5,000—the whole war. We could lose that in a week. Once in it—we will not be able to pull out like Kabul—we must be in it to win it. So many things could happen from Poison Gas, to Nukes, to the Horrors of WW III (even without Nukes). Is Zelenskyy worth it?
There is a difference between some vague “support” for Ukraine, meaning that you oppose Russian aggression, and “support” for American intervention in that war.
I think we all oppose Russian invasions of neighboring countries. But do we support American involvement, American foreign aid, etc. That’s the real question.
The Hill has surrendered any residual credibility they had, which wasn’t much. They live in the sewer with AP, The Guardian and countless others. This article is absolute trash.
Thanks for the tips.
Isn’t $140 Billion enough?
No problem. I, as usual in life, learned the hard way. :)
Not where I live in flyover country. There is a lot of anger ad resentment over Ukraine and Mexico. In our town of five thousand more homeless and illegals arrive everyday. People are angry.
This is propaganda written by a Ukrainian who “works” for the AP.
Yes - looks like a Ukrainian intelligence asset of you know who.
The midget, duplicitous grifter…
This war can be over in 24 hours.
When Trump will be back in the White House he’ll threaten to level Moscow, once again. Just like he did during the previous Trump Presidency, it scared Putin down to the core and that’s why there weren’t any full scale invasion of Ukraine from the commie-imperialists.
Long live the respect for conservative values:
The respect for BORDERS in America, and our allies borders.
The respect for Nations right to remain independent, free from foreign invaders.
Russia must decide to stay at home. It has to stop burning and looting ANTIFA-style in other Nations and let families live their lives without the fear of executions, terror bombings rape by alcoholic Russain soldiers.

PURITY boojit !
Ukraine isn’t an ally, and neither are you.
Recent polling by the Reagan Institute from June 2023 reveals a compelling story: A clear majority of Americans — three-quarters, in fact — believe it is important to the United States that Ukraine wins the war against Russia, a sentiment that transcends partisan divisions, with 86 percent of Democrats, 71 percent of Republicans and 58 percent of independents expressing their support.
In general, a significant majority of Americans (59 percent) express their support for providing military aid to Ukraine. This includes 75 percent of Democrats and 50 percent of Republicans, although there is opposition from 41 percent of Republican respondents. The percentage of those who believe the U.S. aid has been valuable once they know that Ukraine aid accounts for 3 percent of the U.S. military’s budget, the support jumps even higher, to 64 percent. Among Democrats, 77 percent share this sentiment, while among Republicans, it is 59 percent, and among independents, it is 46 percent. P>

What!?
You are fundamentally and truly misinformed or maybe even desinformed.
Here is the PROOF Ukraine is one of America’s most close allies! :
A SIGNED STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP DEAL USA/Ukraine signed in 2008 !
United States-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership
Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs
Washington, DC
December 19, 2008
Preamble
The United States of America and Ukraine:
Affirm the importance of our relationship as friends and strategic partners. We intend to deepen our partnership to the benefit of both nations and expand our cooperation across a broad spectrum of mutual priorities.
Emphasize that this cooperation between our two democracies is based on shared values and interests. These include expanding democracy and economic freedom, protecting security and territorial integrity, strengthening the rule of law, and supporting innovation and technological advances.
Stress our mutual desire to strengthen our relationship across the economic, political, diplomatic, cultural, and security fields.
Confirm the importance of the security assurances described in the Trilateral Statement by the Presidents of the U.S., Russian Federation and Ukraine of January 14, 1994, and the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of December 5, 1994.
Affirm the Priorities for U.S.-Ukraine Cooperation (Road Map) signed on March 31, 2008 and the commitments to a strategic partnership made by Presidents Bush and Yushchenko on April 4, 2005.
Section I: Principles of Cooperation
This Charter is based on core principles and beliefs shared by both sides:
Support for each other’s sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and inviolability of borders constitutes the foundation of our bilateral relations.
Our friendship comes from mutual understanding and appreciation for the shared belief that democracy is the chief guarantor of security, prosperity and freedom.
Cooperation between democracies on defense and security is essential to respond effectively to threats to peace and security.
A strong, independent and democratic Ukraine, capable of responsible self-defense, contributes to the security and prosperity not only of all the people of Ukraine, but of a Europe whole, free and at peace.
