In his latest message in support of Ukraine, Stephen King believes that “V. Putin probably just can’t believe what’s going on,” observing the actions of radical Republicans in the House of Representatives. The pro-Trump wing of the Republican Party is blocking a vote on a military aid package to support Ukraine.
“Radical Republicans in the House of Representatives are actually killing Ukraine.” As one conservative Republican commentator put it, “V. Putin probably just can’t believe what’s happening,” S. King wrote.
The famous American writer has written a lot about Ukraine on the X social network since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In some of his posts, he does not directly talk about Ukraine, but wears a t-shirt or cap with the inscription “Ukraine”.
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Democrat Chuck Schumer announced Monday that a “consensus” was reached during a call between President Joe Biden and congressional leaders that Congress must act urgently to support Israel and Ukraine.
Mr. Schumer emphasized during the press conference in New York that he hopes that both parties will reach support already this week.
Mr. Biden spoke with Senate Majority Leader Ch. Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday, according to ABC News.
This package was approved by the Senate on February 13, but the chairman of the House of Representatives, Republican Mr. Johnson, immediately announced that he would oppose it. The issue of this package has not yet been put to a vote.
The package consists of 95 billion US dollars. 60 billion of them are intended for Ukraine.
Over the weekend, House Speaker Steve Scalise announced that the House would change its agenda to “consider a resolution that supports ally Israel and holds Iran and terrorist groups accountable.”
But according to ABC News, it is not yet clear exactly how the proposal might be changed and how much it will differ from the support package passed by the Senate.
