USA, a group of Republican parliamentarians contests the sending of new weapons to Ukraine

A group of almost 30 Republican parliamentarians wrote a letter to the White House, on the day of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Washington, to contest the approval of new aid to Kiev, in the context of the war with Russia. In the document, obtained by the Wall Street Journal, the group contested the White House's request for Congress to approve another $24 billion in new military, economic and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

In the letter, the lawmakers say they are "concerned" that the administration has already approved $100 billion in aid to Ukraine, saying the government has made an "indefinite commitment" to Kiev, but without have “a clear strategy”.

The document, addressed to the director of the White House budget office, Shalanda Young, was signed by 23 representatives and six Republican senators, led by Senator JD Vance and Representative Chip Roy.
