The US may reduce or stop aid to Kiev altogether if Republican Party representatives succeed in the November 8 midterm elections to Congress, the Washington Post reported on Monday.
·The newspaper quoted Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, who said that under the Republicans “not another penny will go to Ukraine.” “Her party is poised to make significant gains in Tuesday’s midterm elections and possibly revamp the United States’ whole approach to supporting Ukraine’s resistance,” the article said.
“A Republican-led House is expected to, among other things, turn up the heat on the [US President Joe] Biden administration over its handling of the US withdrawal of Afghanistan, as well as step up political pressure on Iran,” the newspaper stressed.
According to its estimates, Ukraine should not count on support either, considering that Congress has already greenlit up to $60 billion in aid and Kiev is persistently asking the West to increase the amount of aid.
On the eve of the election, various candidates and legislators from the Republican Party pointed out that the funding should be stopped.
