January 12, 2024Democrats reject Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s condition for providing assistance. Johnson insisted that Republicans would oppose any new aid to Kyiv unless the agreement includes stringent immigration restrictions and the continuation of the border wall with Mexico, as reported by The Hill.
However, democrats are only willing to consider new funding for border services. They have expressed readiness to block the adoption of any similar Republican initiatives, even if they include assistance to Ukraine. Republicans remain adamant.
Republicans are leaving Ukrainians at the mercy of fate. “It’s sad; I think it’s a terrible situation, but I think that’s exactly what they’re doing,” stated Democrat Juan Vargas. Earlier reports suggested that a deal between Democrats and Republicans was close to being concluded, but it seems the announcement was premature.
