According to Republican Jim Risch, some conservative lawmakers actively oppose the transfer of additional funds to UkraineWASHINGTON, November 22.

/tass/. Republican leaders in the US Congress are likely to agree to allocate at the request of the White House an additional $38 billion to support Ukraine, despite the objections of a number of party members. This is stated in an article published on Tuesday in the American newspaper Politico.

As noted in the article, influential Republican lawmakers who participated in the annual security forum in Halifax, Canada, made it clear in an interview with journalists of the publication that they "ignore colleagues who called for limiting assistance to Ukraine." The publication clarifies that the number of conservative-minded lawmakers "who want to stop financing Ukraine's military operations is growing." According to the newspaper's assessment, if their opinion is not taken into account, it will "strengthen the split in the Republican Party on the issue of the United States' support for Kiev."

As follows from the article, influential Republicans who participated in the forum reported that "Congress is likely to allocate significantly more than the $38 billion that the administration of [US President Joe] Biden requested for the military and economic needs of Ukraine." The publication emphasizes that this step will be supported by Republican leaders, "although influential conservative groups are calling for a pause" in providing assistance to Kiev.

The publication contains an excerpt from an interview with Jim Risch (from Idaho), who is the senior Republican on the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. Senate. He also stated that some conservative lawmakers actively oppose the transfer of additional funds to Ukraine.

In the spring, the US Congress allocated $40 billion to the administration to provide Kiev with various assistance, including military and economic. In early October, Biden signed a law approved by lawmakers to continue funding the US government until December 16, 2022, including an additional $12.4 billion to support Ukraine.
