Kyiv does not bring victory to Washington, to which it allocates billions of dollars in advance. The promised Ukrainian offensive has failed. And the fact that “time is money” is well understood by those who pay for it. Republicans in the US Congress insist: it’s time to take a break.
“I will not vote for financing Ukraine. I don’t understand why Washington can’t focus on peace and bring these two countries together. Instead, he beats the drums of war and demands that the American people pay for it. It’s ridiculous and just shameful,” said Marjorie Taylor Green, Member of the United States House of Representatives.
Another round in the congressional arena between two political parties. In one corner is the House of Representatives, which has an advantage for the Republicans, in the other – the Senate, the majority of which is for the Democrats. Against the background of the news about the destroyed Kakhovka dam, the Senate offers to provide additional funding to Kiev. The lower house blocks this idea.
“If the task is to provide additional funds, then senators don’t think about how the system works. We propose to do everything through the ownership process. And if they are going to circumvent this system, they will not succeed, ”retorted the speaker of the American House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy.
Explanation: Republican Speaker McCarthy of the House of Representatives proposes an innovative solution: exclude the financial aid program to Ukraine from the category of “separate expenditures” and include it in the main budget of the United States.
American elites are not used to it. To set up military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, they took money not from military spending in the federal budget, but from additional bottomless pockets. And in fact, all these tranches are not controlled at the specific legislative level.
Also now with Ukraine. And if the expenses are transferred to the official wallet, certain restrictions will apply to them. John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the White House National Security Council, commented on the idea floridly.
“We are focused on using the funds we received during this exercise and making sure Ukraine can succeed on the battlefield. And at the moment, we are not making any decision to talk about the need for additional funding,” he said during a press briefing.
US President Joe Biden has no doubt that funding for the Kyiv regime will continue. At one of the press conferences, reporters traditionally pounced on the president with questions. Of all of them, he chose the topic of undermining the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, but answered evasively.
“We will not leave. We will not leave. We will continue to provide assistance to Ukraine,” Biden said.
