Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “is an inspiring leader, but the most basic reasons for continuing to help Ukraine degrade and defeat the Russian invaders are cold, hard, practical American interests,” Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the Senate floor Wednesday.
The Biden administration requested a total of $37.7 billion in support for Ukraine in Fiscal Year 2023, but some Republicans, led by McConnell, pushed for much more, considering $37 billion “insufficient.”
