Gaetz Files ‘Ukraine Fatigue Resolution’ to End All Aid to Ukraine

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), a self-described “firebrand” and staunch and unyielding opponent of the Biden administration’s financial, material, and weapons support to Ukraine in its war with Russia, today filed a resolution to end all U.S. aid to Ukraine, while seeking and supporting a peace settlement between the combatant nations.
As the Department of Defense announced on Feb. 3, the United States since 2014 has committed more than $32 billion in “security assistance” to Ukraine,” with $30 billion of that aid pledged since the start of the Biden administration, and $29.3 billion “since the beginning of Russia’s unprovoked, full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022.”
Titled, “Ukraine Fatigue Resolution,” and co-sponsored by 10 House members, H. RES. cites the amount and levels of U.S. support, including that the nation is the “top contributor of military aid to Ukraine compared to its counterparts;” that the United States has “appropriated more than $110,000,000,000 of military, financial, and humanitarian aid to Ukraine;” and that “on February 3, 2023, the Department of Defense announced $2,000,000,000 in additional security assistance for Ukraine.” …}
