- The House passed a more than $60 billion bill that provides more military aid to Ukraine.
- It’s part of a larger foreign aid package that’s likely to pass the Senate and be signed into law.
- 112 Republicans voted it against — the most ever, and a majority of the GOP conference.
…
Saturday’s vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber.
In the two years since Russia’s invasion, opposition to aiding Ukraine has grown from a fringe position to a majority view among House GOP lawmakers. Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence.
Here are the 112 House Republicans who voted against the bill.
Ukraine isn’t asking anyone to go to the front and fight for them. They’re asking for this aid. Anyone who cares about Ukraine as much as they claim will listen to what Ukraine asks for.
Halp me. They are attacking me send money, not reinforcements.
Geez, you have to be either blind or dumb to not see what this is. Proxy war is war. This is about money at this point, and what better way to funnel money than through aid packages.
You think they are going to send a bag of money to Ukraine? Are you really that dumb? The approved amount is for weapons and ammo.
Are you suggesting these Ukrainians on the front line begging for ammo are getting rich off of this somehow?
They can send money to their weapon manufacturers even without this war, you know?
You dumb fuck. They’re sending that money in the form of weapons, ammo, fuel, tools, and equipment. Zelenskyy even said “I don’t need a ride, I need more bullets.”
