Ukrainian President Zelensky’s Plea for Funding<\/h2>\n
Ukrainian\u200b President Volodymyr\u2063 Zelensky is in \u200dWashington this week, once again \u200dpressuring U.S. lawmakers to dole out tens\u2064 of billions of taxpayer dollars for his war effort. At issue is a $110 billion national\u200b security\u200b supplemental the Biden administration \u200chas requested that \u2062includes about $61 billion for Ukraine, as well as more funding \u200cfor Israel, humanitarian aid for Gaza, and \u2063money to secure\u200c the U.S.-Mexico \u200cborder.<\/p>\n
Senate Republicans last week sensibly \u2064blocked a vote\u2062 to advance \u2063the bill because it \u200bdoesn\u2019t include changes to border \u200cpolicy, which \u200dis the only thing that would actually secure\u200c the border. But \u200cthe border\u200c isn\u2019t \u200cthe only good reason to block the funding package. \u200bIt\u2019s\u2063 becoming increasingly\u200c clear \u2064that \u200bthe war \u200din Ukraine is an\u200c unwinnable\u200c quagmire, and that \u2064for all the\u2062 calls we hear for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas \u200dconflict, what\u2019s really\u200b needed is a ceasefire in\u200c Ukraine, where the \u200bsolution today is more\u2063 or less what it was\u2063 before Russia invaded Ukraine in\u200b February \u20642022: a negotiated settlement.<\/p>\n

Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio hinted at this in an \u2063interview with CNN\u2019s\u2062 Jake Tapper<\/a> over the weekend, saying there\u2019s no\u200c reason to think $61 billion will accomplish what \u200c$100 billion hasn\u2019t.\u2064 \u201cThe \u2064idea that Ukraine was going to throw Russia\u200b back to the 1991 borders was \u200dpreposterous. Nobody actually believed it.\u2062 So what we\u2019re saying to the president and really to the entire world \u2062is, you need to \u2064articulate \u200bwhat the ambition is.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
So far, neither the Biden White House nor\u2062 any \u200cneocon Ukraine hawk in \u200bWashington has been able to articulate what the endgame strategy in Ukraine should be. Instead, we get platitudes about the need\u200b to shovel more money \u200cinto a bloody war of attrition from \u2064the likes of Mike \u200bPompeo, who of course doesn\u2019t bother to elaborate on what he means by \u201cend the war.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Ukraine\u200d loses, the cost to America will be far \u2062greater than the aid we have\u200d given \u200cUkraine.<\/p>\n
The least\u200c costly way to move forward is to provide Ukraine with\u200b the weapons needed to win and\u200d end the war.<\/p>\n
