Can America keep funding Ukraine given the disunity among our leaders? As Sen. Graham visited with Ukrainian President Zelensky, the nation looked anxiously to the rest of Congress.
From The Hill. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday as further funding for the war-torn country remains in limbo amid divisions in Congress.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
Zelensky hosted Graham in Kyiv, where the two discussed aid for Ukraine, the Ukrainian army’s needs and the Eastern European nation’s eventual integration into NATO, the Ukrainian leader wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Graham’s visit comes just weeks after he voted against a $95 billion defense and foreign aid package in the Senate. The bill included $60 billion for Ukraine, including $19.85 billion to restock U.S. military weapons provided from the Pentagon’s inventory and $13.8 billion to allow Ukraine to buy weapons and munitions from U.S. industry.
The South Carolina Republican is one of the most outspoken GOP advocates for supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia, which surprised and frustrated lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who believed he would help muster up GOP support for the bill. …
Zelensky reiterated his plea to the U.S. on Monday to continue sending aid in support of Ukraine. …
In a video of Zelensky’s remarks, the president told Graham he is thankful for Congress and the Biden administration’s support over the past two years, and he asked the lawmaker what he thinks about future support for the nation.
In the short clip of the beginning of the meeting, Graham offered a stark prediction for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Putin will go down in history the way all people like Putin go down in history, it’s just a matter of time,” he said.
In a statement later shared with The Hill, Graham said he had a “productive visit” with Zelensky about the state and future of the war. He said he is calling on the Biden administration to send longer-range artillery, accelerate F-16 training for Ukrainians and designate Russia a state sponsor of terrorism.
Increasing division among lawmakers has stalled aid for the Eastern European nation. Congress has not passed a funding bill for Ukraine since the end of 2022, when a Democratic majority passed its fourth aid package for the country. …

When the nuclear warheads start falling and their sons and daughters are dying, MAGA will regret not having taken advantage of every opportunity available to avoid it, or at least give our military the time and support it needed to prepare. In the aftermath, supporting Ukraine will seem a small price to pay.
Donald Trump, if you will notice, has proposed no plan or indicated that he is even aware of the seriousness of our situation, which is surprising in someone who must have attended many meetings with the military while president. In 2015, he promised that he would give North Korea ‘such a good deal’ that they would ‘give up their nuclear weapons’, and, of course, once president, this did not happen, so his promise to ‘keep us out of wars’ without actually giving an indication of how he will do so is a red flag that he has no plan and is a shallow promise.
In light of what he should have known about the situation with our military his storing military documents in his bathroom and showing military documents to people without clearance is shocking. His reason for doing so, personal grievances, should be a warning sign that he puts himself and his concerns before the welfare of our country.
The division ‘among our leaders’ is mostly due to a small number of individuals who are backed by MAGA. So, MAGA is at the root of the disagreement.
Unfortunately, most of MAGA is not really aware of what is going on internationally or of the history of the region and are easily misled by unscrupulous reporters who are seeking to capitalizable on their ignorance.
There have been some good articles recently posted in WSJ which are written by reporters on the ground in Ukraine and are actually talking to the people and have knowledge of the history of the region. You get a different perspective from them than from a reporter who has never been to Ukraine or talked to the people and is speaking from a studio thousands of miles away and who normally covers American politics and so actually has to resort to google in order to get some knowledge of their history.
