American Republican Senator Eric Schmitt said that the general aid package requested by President Joe Biden for Israel and Ukraine will not be approved by the US Senate. He told this on live broadcast Fox Business.
According to Schmitt, Biden is thus playing a “cynical political game”; The US President is trying to take advantage of the support of the Israeli side to implement a less popular financing project for Ukraine.
The senator added that since each country has its own characteristics, problems and realities on the battlefield and its own chances of success, each aid package should be handled separately and different bills should be created.
Previously, U.S. Vice President for Homeland Security Jake Sullivan statedThe funds allocated to aid Ukraine in the United States federal budget have almost been exhausted.
Before that, US President Joe Biden, in his address to the nation, described the aid to Ukraine and Israel as a “smart investment” that will “pay dividends” for future generations. He claimed that if Russia won, it would “not stop” and could “attack” NATO countries, and that “potential aggressors” around the world would be encouraged, which would lead to conflicts in other regions. The Russian Foreign Ministry responded by accusing the United States of deception under the guise of “non-existent values.”
Previously Biden accused It violates the US Constitution.
