Republicans and Democrats have spent weeks carefully negotiating a massive, bipartisan immigration and foreign aid deal, leaving Ukraine in a wait-and-see position on critical support.
As both sides moved closer toward a possible agreement, former President Donald Trump stepped in to torpedo attempts at a compromise.
His opposition to the deal, which some have said may be in hopes of keeping the border as a key campaign issue going into the election this year, has left some Republicans wary of crossing him and others frustrated.
Failure to reach a deal is likely to leave multiple parties feeling aggrieved, but it would especially hurt Ukraine. Its troops are scraping the bottom of the barrel for ammunition to defend themselves and their cities against intensifying assaults, and the country is increasingly nervous about fighting off Russia with little help from its biggest single supporter in the West.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said last week in a closed-door meeting with other Republicans that Trump's pushback against the border deal had forced them into a pickle. The comments were first reported by Punchbowl News.
"When we started this, the border united us and Ukraine divided us," McConnell said. "The politics on this have changed."

Sorry about Ukraine. Hopefully they can address their corruption and the EU can help them out.
We are a little distracted with our own invasion.

Go Trump
In 2015, German publishing company and owner of Bild, Die Welt, and Fakt, Axel Springer, acquired Business Insider for $442 million, which brought their share to approximately 97 percent. Bezos Expeditions, the personal investment company of Jeff Bezos, will hold further shares according to the purchase details.
So BI is blaming Trump for the failures in Ukraine?
Figgers.
Then close the border.
McConnell wants to fund Ukraine nazis and is threatening America that he will keep the border open until he gets money for Ukraine.
He is no different than a robber holding a pistol to a tellers head until he gets a helicopter.
Maybe Ukraine could collect some of the billions their corrupt politicians have run off with and use that to buy weapons.
well business weekly is all in for war
“… it would especially hurt Ukraine. Its troops are scraping the bottom of the barrel for ammunition to defend themselves…”

More to the point they’re “scraping the bottom of the barrel” for new conscripts who have the willingness and physical/mental capabilities to fight. The meat grinders are always looking for fresh meat.
And they keep calling it a “deal”. And they angrily say we are ruining “the deal”.
There was no DEAL. Globalist Repubs and Dems agree on the open border and mass immigration. They both want funding for Ukraine. So they are floating a proposal.
But there was not a “deal” to ruin.
Yeas, and it is a really good thing. Shut Joe Biden down.
here’s a thought why don’t the pro war politicians do what they do best and go out and fund raise for their little, war. How about they put their campaign war chest into the war? If it’s that important.
Funny, but pedo Joe is the one demanding Ukraine be part of the bill, not Trump.
Ukraine has the EU and other countries in the region. Why are we involved at all.
Ukraine is one of the most corrupt governments and criminal enterprises on the face of the planet.
Where does one suppose the great majority of US stolen credit card information originates?
Ukraine.
They can't use the stolen numbers directly from there - so they sell the info on the dark web.
Let them fight their own battles.
Send billions to Ukraine to defend their borders while millions walk right across ours. Makes sense...
It’s a double hemmorage
Just let the liberals
Bleed to death

No money for Ukraine. Close the border. Don’t like it? Get bent.
