Republican Opposition Grows to Additional Ukraine Aid

Sen. Rand Paul says there is a "growing movement" among Republicans to cut additional funding to Ukraine. He cites concerns over lack of funding for domestic programs and Ukraine's corruption.

The House Speaker's adherence to the "Hastert Rule" could be a "deal killer" for further Ukraine aid if a majority of House Republicans oppose it.

Other Republican senators like Hawley, Vance, Kennedy, Risch and Wicker have also voiced opposition or concerns about further Ukraine aid without oversight.

Even the Biden administration has concerns over corruption in Ukraine, according to a State Department memo, though it still supports continued aid.

Sen. McConnell says most in Congress still support Ukraine aid, but wants direction from Biden on how to move forward.
