The new Republican Senate majority should end the war in Ukraine
By Demri Greggo
If senators exhibit political courage, the incoming U.S. Senate has a unique opportunity to cut off the spigot of funds to Ukraine and find peace for the war-torn country.
With the results of the 2024 election becoming clear, Republicans are set to control the U.S. Senate for the first time in three years. In that time, the Biden administration has provided approximately $59.1 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022. Yet, the Ukrainian government has not outlined a realistic strategy to end the war.
Despite a never-ending flow of funds from Washington to Kyiv, the Ukrainian government keeps asking for more from Americans and brazenly requested that the Biden administration invite the country to join NATO, despite Ukraine being in an active war with Russia. It’s unclear what benefit continually funding a war on the other side of the globe with no end in sight has for the average American, who may be struggling to make ends meet because of the impacts of inflation.
