The US Senate on December 6 voted to provide joint aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. However, the senators were unable to make the necessary decision.

In an exclusive interview Channel 24 Advisor to the head of the OPU Mikhail Podolyak reacted to the failed vote of the US Senate on the international assistance bill.

Modern politics is very tense

As the adviser to the head of the OPU noted, Republicans and Democrats clearly understand what we are talking about when we talk about Ukraine or Israel. In the Middle East we are talking about protection from the outbreak of a great warand the dominance of repressive terrorist regimes like Hamas or Hezbollah. Regarding the war in Ukraine, the problem is generally much more global. After all, we are talking about global leadership in democracies.

If you If you don’t help Ukraine today, you say that the world could not win the war against one authoritarian country – Russia. In this case, there will be no global rules and no dominance of expansion and blackmail. Russia will behave much more brazenly than it does now. In the USA they realize this,” Podolyak said.

He emphasized that modern politics is now extremely tense due to the spread of social networks. There are heated internal discussions going on.

Against this background, the adviser to the head of the OPU highlighted three key things:

• there is a consensus between Republicans and Democrats to support Ukraine and Israel;
• there is an effective understanding of what is war and how to continue supporting Ukraine, which is demonstrated by the Joe Biden administration. They constantly talk about this with specific arguments, clearly explain the consequences if this assistance is not continued; , and the Minister of Defense, a large number of deputies.

Understanding of support for Ukraine is absolute, because if Russia does not lose, then international law will not exist. Based on this, there is an understanding that if today the United States does not invest in Ukraine, then tomorrow it will have to invest much more money in its security. In addition, it is not a fact that it will be possible to keep all this under control.
