GOP Will Likely Oppose More Ukraine Aid If Republicans Win House Back: McCarthy

• Zero Hedge

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has indicated that if Republicans retake control of the House in next month's midterm elections, the GOP will likely oppose sending more aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia, the Washington Post reports.

The US has authorized upward of $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, along with over $18.2 billion in security assistance given since January 2021. In May, the Senate voted to finalize over $40 billion in new military and humanitarian assistance - a package which many Republican lawmakers voted against. On Friday, an additional $725 million in security assistance was announced - including more ammunition for HIMARS rockets, precision-guided artillery rounds, antitank weapons and Humvees, according to the Pentagon.
