Congress Sneaks in $12 Billion in Ukraine Aid in a Government Funding Bill

The United States Congress agreed to the Biden regime's request to tack on $12 billion for Ukraine in a stopgap funding bill. However, Republicans in the Senate are split on whether they'll back the funding request in the continuing resolution, which must be passed by September 30 in order to prevent a government shutdown.

Bottom Line

  • If Republicans were to vote against this bill on the grounds that it has no accountability safeguards to where the spending goes, the Biden regime could spin GOP opposition as supporting Russia during its military campaign in Ukraine
  • Several Republican elected officials accused Biden of sneaking in tons of aid in the funding package to help Democrats out electorally during the 2022 midterms

The Biden regime has sent approximately $15 billion in aid to Ukraine since January 2021

  • The bulk of that has come after the Russian invasion in February 2022
  • After the perceived success of the Kharkov offensive, the DC Swamp is convinced that simply pouring more aid into Ukraine will yield better results in this conflict
  • Russia still holds massive escalatory dominance
  • On top of that, the more the West escalates the more maximalist Russia's territorial aims become
