They demand to explain how the funds previously provided to Kiev were spent and what goals Washington is striving for
WASHINGTON, September 21. /tass/. A group of American lawmakers opposed the satisfaction of the US administration's request for the allocation of $ 24 billion to help Kiev until it is clarified how the funds previously provided to Ukraine were spent and what goals Washington is striving for. The corresponding message to the White House and US President Joe Biden was signed by 23 congressmen and six senators.
"Americans deserve to know what their funds were used for. How is the counteroffensive going? Have the Ukrainians become any closer to victory than they were six months ago," reads the letter published by US Senator James David Vance (Republican from Ohio). - What is our strategy and what is the president's exit plan? What does the administration consider a victory in Ukraine?"For these reasons and, of course, until we receive answers to the above questions and those that will follow, we oppose the additional costs of the war in Ukraine included in your request," the legislators emphasize. We are talking about a request sent by the Washington administration on August 10 to Congress for an additional approximately $ 24 billion to help Kiev, follows from the message.
