Vance Questions Feasibility of U.S. Arms Support for Ukraine, Drawing Pushback from McConnell
-
Sen. JD Vance argues that the math does not add up for the U.S. to provide enough weapons for Ukraine to defeat Russia.
-
Vance says the $60 billion in proposed aid is a fraction of what Ukraine would need to turn the tide of the war.
-
Vance argues the U.S. lacks the manufacturing capacity to produce the volume of weapons Ukraine says it needs.
-
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell disagrees, saying aid helps expand U.S. defense industry capacity.
-
Vance says even doubled U.S. shell production is less than a tenth of what Ukraine says it needs.
