Secretary of State Antony Blinken is confident Congress will maintain military aid for Ukraine, arguing Wednesday that key Republicans believe if Russian President Vladimir Putin triumphs, it will be “open season for would-be aggressors anywhere.”
Mr. Blinken, speaking to ABC News on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York, said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul are vocal champions for Ukraine, even as other House Republicans question whether it’s worth spending billions more on the slow-moving fight against Russian invaders.
“This is not just the right thing to do because of the horrific abuses that Russia is committing in Ukraine; it’s the necessary thing to do,” Mr. Blinken said. “Because if we allow Putin to get away with this, then it is going to be open season for would-be aggressors anywhere.” “If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, is the independence of any nation secure?” Mr. Biden said in his speech to world leaders in Manhattan.Mr. Zelenskyy, in visits to the White House and Congress, will plead for ongoing support. U.S. aid is at a crossroads as Congress struggles to approve spending bills needed to keep the government open.
