~6 0~p>Help to Ukraine will be only after the border with Mexico.
Further help Ukraine< /strong> will be approved only after the security issue of the border with Mexico is resolved.
Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson announced this at a briefing, writes Liga.net.
He said Republicans need answers to the question of what the U.S. ultimate goal and strategy for Ukraine is and how aid is held accountable.
“We must make sure that Ukraine does not become another Afghanistan. You see many Americans scratching their heads and asking real questions about why this has to continue without proper answers. So I will demand them.” , said Johnson.
The legislator noted that the migrant crisis on the southern border should be resolved before discussing assistance to Ukraine.
“Border, border, border. We have to take care of our home, we have to secure our border before we talk about anything else. I've been saying this since day one and I will continue to say it “, the politician emphasized.
Recall that earlier the White House stated that military assistance to Ukraine from the United States had stopped. Negotiations continue in Washington on an aid package that could be tied to an overhaul of border security measures.
On December 6, a bill to fund aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan worth about $106 billion failed to pass a procedural vote in the US Senate due to Republican demands for stricter immigration policies.
