Biden heralds united Western support - but cracks lurk in Congress

 

The US Congress gave Ukraine about $100 billion in aid last year. These funds will be used to buy 31 M1 Abrams battle tanks and teach the Ukrainian military how to use and maintain them.

In the coming months, you can anticipate hearing more about how the Biden administration is spending the money that Congress has already approved. The supporters of Ukraine in the US government hope that this money will be able to support the war effort for the majority of 2023.

Given the uncertain prospects for additional support from Congress, that funding may have to suffice.

The Republicans who currently hold control of the House of Representatives have called for investigations into how the aid that has already been approved has been spent and have expressed skepticism regarding additional funding.

Meanwhile, Republican support for the war effort is declining, according to polls.

For the first time since the war began, a survey conducted by CBS News in January revealed that the majority of Republican voters wanted their congressional representatives to oppose additional aid to Ukraine.

As a result, American resolve is beginning to falter, despite Joe Biden's claim that the recent multinational attack on tanks is evidence of Western unity's continued support for Ukraine.
