American Malek Lipov in an interview with the newspaper “Vzglyad” commented Disagreement between Democrats and Republicans during a Senate briefing on funding for Ukraine and Israel. According to the political scientist, the United States is tired of supporting conflicts, so the political split in the American leadership is gaining momentum.
“Republicans are using the issue of allocating money to Ukraine as an element of blackmail to Democrats. Their aim is to gain concessions on priority issues, especially the immigration issue. And it can be said that this conflict is quite serious,” continued Lipov.
He added that most Republicans have long accepted the idea that the conflict in Ukraine is lost. Moreover, according to him, ordinary Americans oppose the continuation of Kiev’s financing.
At the secret briefing held in the US Senate on December 6 on the administration’s request for aid to Ukraine and Israel, the atmosphere became “angry” due to disagreements between representatives of the Republican and Democratic parties.
