ullivan said in a briefing that there are āstrongā Republican voices, especially those in ākey leadership positionsā that still support more aid to Ukraine. āWe believe that the support will be there and will be sustained,ā Sullivan said. However, he cautioned that there are some ādissonant voicesā among Republicans.
āOur view is that (Ukraine and U.S. allies in Europe) have confidence that the U.S. will continue to be there, as we have committed to be,ā he added.
One European ambassador has, according to Axios, received assurances that America would continue to provide more aid to Ukraineās protracted conflict with Russia. This assurance follows as European countriesā aid to Ukraine has paled in comparison to America’s, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.

Zelensky wrote, sharing a video of the meeting:

President Joe Biden has requested another $24 billion in aid to Ukraine. Although, Republicans seem skeptical of this aid passing through the House, noting that many Republicans beyond the House Freedom Caucus oppose this package.
āI just donāt see that support in the House [Republican] conference right now ā¦ We are well beyond just the Freedom Caucus talking about this,ā a House Republican leadership aide said.
The aide continued, āItās not a small group of people that are concerned about this. AĀ lot of the rank-and-file members were pretty clear: Weāve done what we can do, we need to focus on some of our own internal problems now.ā
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), the co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, saidĀ that he is not sure Ukraineās war against Russia is āwinnable anymore.ā The Heritage FoundationĀ put outĀ an ad ahead of Wednesdayās GOP presidential primary debate, noting that the current amount of aid to Ukraine costs the average American household $900.
