Ukraine remains dangerous for the current situation. Not only is it unable to gain an advantage on the front line, but it is also facing the crisis of "** supply cut-off". The European Union has promised to provide a million artillery shells this year, but it has never delivered. The United States previously shouted "unlimited support", but now it has almost no money. Even Zelensky's "personal trip" to the United States only received $200 million, which is one-third of the amount he expected.
Aid to Ukraine is being significantly reduced, according to a report by the reference news network, the United States previously held a congressional vote to discuss the 60 billion aid to Ukraine bill. Although Biden and some Democratic lawmakers strongly supported the bill, the bill was vetoed in the Senate under the "joint efforts" of some Democratic and Republican lawmakers. Seeing that the 60 billion funds were not so easy to get, Zelensky couldn't sit still, and he chose to visit the United States in person. After arriving in the United States, he met with Republican congressional leaders.
According to Zelensky's expectations, these Republican lawmakers will give some face and let Ukraine get more support. However, even when Zelensky struggled to speak, the Republicans did not back down, only telling him that "I have heard these words a long time ago." In the end, it was Biden** who symbolically took out $200 million to aid Ukraine, so that Zelensky did not run in vain. For such a thing, international analysts say that this is a "complete failure" of Zelensky.
Zelensky's visit to the United States In fact, Zelensky ushered in such a "complete failure", which was also expected. Republicans believe that the Ukrainian issue is essentially a geopolitical game between Russia and Western countries. In this case, the United States should not get too involved in this conflict, but should focus more on its own national interests. Therefore, they oppose the provision of aid to Ukraine, arguing that it will lead to the involvement of the United States in an unnecessary war, which will affect the *** and strategic interests of the United States.
There are also economic factors, and Republicans usually advocate cutting spending and reducing the fiscal deficit. Providing aid to Ukraine requires significant fiscal spending, which could lead to a further deterioration of the US fiscal position. Many Republicans oppose aid to Ukraine from an economic point of view, believing that it will put enormous pressure on the U.S. economy and affect U.S. economic growth and employment.
At the same time, Republicans also believe that the Democrats' aid to Ukraine is to score points in domestic politics in order to win the support of voters. Therefore, they oppose the provision of aid to Ukraine, believing that it is a political trick of the Democratic Party ** and not out of consideration for the national interests of the United States. This view is that decisions should be made on the basis of national interests, not political interests.
It is worth mentioning that American citizens also believe that the provision of assistance to Ukraine will lead to a further deterioration of relations between the United States and Russia, and may even provoke a direct military conflict between the United States and Russia. Therefore, they oppose the provision of aid to Ukraine, the waste of too much money on other countries, and they ask Biden to focus on the internal crisis in the United States.
Biden has reported and accused Ukraine of corruption and transparency problems. Therefore, American Republicans and citizens do not believe that the assistance provided by the United States can effectively help the Ukrainian people, but may be abused by Ukraine. This argument argues that the U.S. should ensure that aid is actually used for those in need and not enriched by corruption.
More Americans believe that European countries should take more responsibility for aiding Ukraine. They believe that European countries are geographically closer to Ukraine, so European countries should play a greater role, and not mainly the United States to provide assistance.
There is also the EU, and Ukraine itself is "not angry". American citizens believe that a significant amount of military and economic assistance has been provided to Ukraine, but Ukraine is still at a disadvantage in the conflict. Therefore, they advocate a reassessment of the effectiveness of US aid policy, rather than continuing to invest significant resources.
