There will be overwhelming support in the U.S. House of Representatives this week for the package that includes funding for military aid to Ukraine.
Chair of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee Mike Turner told this to NBC News, Ukrinform reports.
Commenting on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s stance on aid to Ukraine, Turner noted that everyone in the U.S. “has been very much on the side of understanding” that the situation is at a critical point.
“Russia is beginning to gain ground. Ukraine is beginning to lose the ability to defend itself. The United States must step up and provide Ukraine the weapons they need. And I think we are going to see overwhelming support for that in the House this week,” the congressman said.
The Senate on February 13 passed a $95 billion national security funding package, which included $60 billion in aid for Ukraine. But House Speaker Mike Johnson has refused to put the bill on the floor as Trump allies in the House have dug in against providing more aid to Kyiv.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump made it clear that Republicans were ready to support additional aid to Ukraine if it came in the form of a loan.

I am confused. Will the original bill be on the table or will discussions about a new bill start and last for months without any results? 🤐
Depends on the path it takes.
Turner said, “I think we are going to see overwhelming support for that in the House this week.”
He said nothing about getting a bill passed, or even put on the floor. Just that there would be support for it if trumpkov ever allowed Johnson to act.
Yes, Mike.
And yet, Johnson continues to talk about vague mechanisms, loans, the use of frozen assets to finance aid to Ukraine… while he wants to unconditionally propose an aid plan to Israel and Taiwan this week. We can legitimately be very very very worried about Ukraine.

“It’s antisemitic to make Israeli aid contingent on funding Ukrainian Nazis.”
It is time to strip her of her nationality and send her back to her Oblast.
Send her back on the street to do blowjobs for five bucks a shot for homeless guys. That’s all her mouth is good for.
Don’t anyone hold your breath.
