However, recent reports suggest that Ukraine may have conducted an attack on Russian civilians, potentially using weapons received from the United States. These allegations have put the administration on the defensive.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If true, it would be the first Ukraine attack on Russian residential spaces since the war began on Feb. 24, 2022.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Aerial Bombing and Unmanned Drones<\/h3>\n<p>Russia has recently stepped up aerial bombing of Ukraine, with a focus on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Unmanned aerial drones have become staples of the conflict between the nations.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A complication for the Biden administration, if it is discovered that Ukraine had targeted Russian civilians, is that Ukraine would cede some of its moral advantage as a heroic underdog to the powerful Russian bear.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>White House Press Secretary Defends Administration&#8217;s Support of Ukraine<\/h3>\n<p>White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed Russia\u2019s claims that Ukraine had intentionally attacked civilians and restated and defended the administration\u2019s support of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5301662\" style=\"width: 575px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/30\/id5301662-05302023-DSC06766-WhiteHouse-Press-Briefing-1200x800.jpg\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/30\/id5301662-05302023-DSC06766-WhiteHouse-Press-Briefing-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre speaks with reporters during the daily press briefing at the White House in Washington on May 30, 2023.\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAs you know, we\u2019ve seen the news, and are certainly gathering information about what happened to get a better perspective and clarity about what happened,\u201d said Jean-Pierre. \u201cBut I can speak to this more generally.

In May 2022, the House voted 368-57 to pass the White House\u2019s $40 billion aid bill for Ukraine. All no votes were cast by Republicans. Later in the month, in the Senate, the bill passed, 86-11, with every no vote coming from a GOP senator.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), a prominent Republican, takes heat for siding with the Biden administration on the policy of aiding Ukraine. Many consider the position evidence that Graham is a RINO (Republican In Name Only).<\/p>\n<p>Among the announced candidates for the Republican nomination for president, there is no broad consensus on the issue of Ukraine. Yet all agree that American troops should not be sent to fight in the war.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3358040\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20\/Nikki-Haley-1-1200x720.jpg\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20\/Nikki-Haley-1-1200x720.jpg\" alt=\"Nikki Haley, then U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>are concerns that this incident could undermine the US&#8217;s support for Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
