The GOP's Dangerous Neglect of Ukraine's Defense Threatens Global Security

The GOP's refusal to fund Ukraine's defense is a scandal that undermines U.S. national security and sends a message to Vladimir Putin that the United States cannot be relied upon as a reliable ally. Despite the fact that aid to Ukraine is a small fraction of the federal budget and has proven to be effective in weakening Russia's military, MAGA Republicans show a reckless disregard for protecting European allies and defending democracy. Their flimsy arguments and refusal to negotiate demonstrate a lack of concern for the costs to Ukraine and our national security, making it more likely that Russia will be emboldened to expand further into Europe.
