“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) urged lawmakers Wednesday to continue supporting Ukraine, more than a year-and-a-half after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of the country, and as some Republicans have wavered in their commitment to sending aid,” the Washington Post reports.
Said McConnell: “Since Putin’s escalation in Ukraine, President Biden has not been as decisive as many of us would have preferred. But this is no excuse for Congress to compound his administration’s failures with failures of our own.”
Punchbowl News: “The endorsement from McConnell — which came after he again made the case for backing Ukraine’s military effort against Russia — could put him at odds with House Republicans who’ve been hostile toward both the supplemental request and Ukraine funding more broadly.”
