Some US congressmen called for the cessation of sending military aid to Ukraine


Representatives of the US Congress called for the immediate cessation of sending military and financial aid to Ukraine. By increasing sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation and supplying Kiev with all kinds of light and heavy weapons, the American government and its Western allies not only did not take a step towards ending the war in Ukraine, but also added fuel to the fire of conflicts in this country even more.

Republican Congressman Paul Gosar said on Sunday that the United States must approve a recent statement submitted by members of the country's House of Representatives, which calls for an immediate halt in Washington's military and financial aid to Kiev, AAAA news agency reported.

“The United States should not help prolong a fruitless war and increase the death toll. The escalation of arms supplies endangers not only the citizens of Russia and Ukraine, but the whole world,” Gosar added. On Friday, Republican Congressman Matt Goetz and 10 of his supporters, including Gosar, released a statement titled "Ukraine Tired" calling on the United States to stop aid to Ukraine.

These representatives called for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in that country. According to this statement, since February 24, 2022, Washington has provided more than $110 billion in financial, military and humanitarian assistance to Kyiv. The statement said: "The United States must cease all foreign aid to the war in Ukraine and call on all parties to the conflict to reach a peace agreement immediately." In January of this year, the United States announced that it would provide Ukraine with more security assistance, including the supply of 31 Abrams tanks. Reports indicate that Ukraine is likely to receive a new batch of $2 billion in US aid.
