The result of the Republican vote against the Ukraine aid bill in the US Senate is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people as a whole. Although Ukraine's Zelensky has warned that Ukraine will be at risk of being defeated by Russia if the United States stops aid, the opposition of Republican senators has prevented the bill from passing. It is also considered a major victory for Russia on the Ukrainian issue.
Behind the vote, however, is a clash of political ideas between the two major political parties in the United States. Republicans have emphasized tightening immigration policies and are advocating for a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to stem the influx of illegal immigrants. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, advocates an open border policy, welcomes immigrants to the United States, and opposes the construction of a wall at the border. These two differing immigration policy positions also led directly to Republican opposition to the inclusion of Ukraine aid and U.S.-Mexico border grants**, while Democrats advocated separate votes on Ukraine aid and U.S.-Mexico border grants. Such disagreements make it impossible for the Ukraine aid bill to receive Republican support.
Ahead of this vote, US Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called on Republicans to support Ukraine and think about whether their policies are in the interests of the United States. He even quoted Reagan, a former Republican, to criticize the Republican Party's position on Ukraine. This fully reflects the Democratic Party's severe criticism and dissatisfaction with the Republican Party.
Republican Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Johnson has said that the U.S. should vote on Ukrainian aid and Israeli aid separately, rather than putting them together. This is one of the root causes of conflict between Republicans and Democrats over foreign aid.
The results of this vote have been a setback for Biden, and at the same time have dealt a huge blow to Zelensky, the Ukrainian army, and all Ukrainians. Ukraine**, on the other hand, said it was not surprised, arguing that although the result of this vote is bad news for Ukraine, it is still possible to resubmit the bill and hold a new vote.
One of the biggest effects of the results of this vote was that it gave Russia a strategic advantage. If the United States stops providing aid to Ukraine, it is likely to cause a reduction in aid to Ukraine from other countries, especially European countries such as Germany. This will greatly increase the risk of losing the war in Ukraine, which is simply a lie down for Russia.
Biden expressed great anger at the failure of the Ukraine aid bill to pass, accusing the Republican Party of political blackmail. Biden believes that the Republican threat is an act of political blackmail, and the risks are too high for Ukraine and the consequences are too serious. However, this political struggle is even more irrelevant for Ukraine, which says that no matter what country in the international arena, no matter how much it votes, they will not stop defending their country, will not give up an inch of land, and will not forgive any ** or mistreatment of Ukrainians.
Ukraine** said that despite the failure of partners to meet their international security obligations, the Ukrainian Defense Forces will continue to fight, they will continue to defend the country and will not give up an inch of land. Ukraine said that no matter how far the world progresses, strength will always be a priority, and they will re-equip ** to continue to defeat Russia. The Ukrainian Defense Forces are seen as the best guarantor of Ukraine's security, and they will grow and become stronger.
Summary: The results of this vote undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, and also posed a challenge to Biden**'s foreign policy goals. Differences between Republicans and Democrats over immigration policy led to the failure of the Ukraine Aid Act, giving Russia a major victory over Ukraine. Despite this, Ukraine** has stated that they will not give up, will continue to defend the country, and are ready to re-equip** for the challenge of Russia. No matter how the international vote is, Ukraine will firmly defend its territory and the rights and interests of its people.
