US lawmakers close to agreeing £49bn of long-delayed military funds for kyiv
Daily Express
|April 20, 2024
US lawmakers will try to push through a £49 billion arms and aid package for Ukraine tonight, ending a seven-month deadlock as Russian troops make gains.
But the funds are threatened by America's convoluted partisan politics, with isolationist Republicans voting against military support amid a bitter fight for control of their party.
America's long-running failure to approve an aid package has hindered Ukraine's ability to fight the Russian invasion, with dwindling ammunition and air defence missile supplies.
Abandoning Ukraine could also send a message to Russia and China that the US does not fulfil its promises to support allies, encouragfurther ing incursions across the globe.
Aid for Ukraine has been a ticking time bomb since August 2023, when President Joe Biden called for Congress to renew its military and humanitarian support, only for Republican in-fighting to sabotage the deal.
A Ukraine aid bill that included provisions to strengthen US border security was killed in early February by Senate Republicans at the urging of former president Donald Trump.
