On Wednesday, Republican members of the US Senate blocked a request submitted by the White House to approve an emergency aid package worth $106 billion, which would primarily benefit Ukraine and Syria, because it did not include the immigration reforms they are demanding. Republicans staked their votes on moving forward with approval of this package by including reforms in the immigration policy pursued by the Democratic administration, in a move that represents a severe defeat for President Joe Biden, who had warned Congress that Russian President Vladimir Putin would do so. The matter does not stop at the borders of Ukraine, as it could lead to confrontation. With NATO.
The failed vote highlighted the decline in support in the United States for continuing to fund Ukraine’s war effort at a perilous time, with Kiev’s counterattack failing to achieve its goals, according to the American New York Times.
Although the bill has stalled due to disagreement over immigration policy, the resistance it has faced in Congress reflects waning support among Republicans for continuing to support Ukraine, as opinion polls show that Americans have lost interest in continuing to provide financial support to Kiev.
In the Senate, Republicans took positions against the bill, which allocated $111 billion to Washington’s allies, including about $50 billion in security aid to Ukraine, other economic and humanitarian aid, and another $14 billion to arm S*Ray*L.
Republicans voted “no” despite a series of calls from Democrats and an appeal from President Biden, who said he was ready to make “significant concessions” on the border.
For his part, US President Joe Biden warned (Wednesday) that disrupting financial aid to Ukraine “cannot wait any longer,” as the dispute continues between Democrats and Republicans over a new aid package for Kiev.
Biden promised that not agreeing to allocate additional funds to Ukraine would be the greatest gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin, stressing that if the latter succeeds in controlling Ukraine, he will not stop there.
Biden expressed his willingness to make what he described as “major compromises” in the immigration file on the Mexican border (which Democrats reject) to allow Congress to release the necessary funding to support Ukraine.
