Rep. Matt Gaetz Introduces Resolution To Cut Off Financial Aid To Ukraine, Encourages Peace

Published on

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is introducing a resolution in the House that calls for the end of U.S. military and financial aid to Ukraine, according to DailyFetched.

Gaetz and ten co-sponsors introduced the “Ukraine Fatigue Resolution,” which calls for the U.S. to “end its military and financial aid to Ukraine and urges all combatants to reach a peace agreement.”

As Fox News reported:

The resolution notes that since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S. has been the top contributor to the Ukrainian war effort, with more than $110 billion in financial, military, and humanitarian aid to the U.S. ally. It includes more than $27.4 billion in security assistance.

As The Daily Fetched reported last month, the total amount of military aid provided to Kyiv from the United States has soared past $26 billion.

In January, Antony Blinken announced a further $2.5 billion in military aid for Ukraine.

Besides the $2.5 billion for Ukraine, congress already awarded $45 billion to the country in the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill, which was signed into law in December 2022.

Matt Gaetz said the U.S. has been the top contributor to an “everlasting conflict.”

“America is in a state of managed decline, and it will exacerbate if we continue to hemorrhage taxpayer dollars toward a foreign war,” he said.

“We must suspend all foreign aid for the War in Ukraine and demand that all combatants in this conflict reach a peace agreement immediately.”

The co-sponsors of the resolution include Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., Paul Gosae, R-Ariz., Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Mary Miller, R-Ill., Barry Moore, R-Ala., Ralph Norman, R-S.C. and Matt Rosendale, R-Mont.

The majority of Republicans remained in favor of funding the war effort as Mitch McConnell said in December that “providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the No. 1 priority for the United States right now according to most Republicans.”
