The United States should not provide Ukraine with a new financial aid package, instead Washington should focus on solving domestic problems, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said on Fox News .
According to him, the United States is currently economically weaker than before. “We simply cannot afford the current level of financial support for Ukraine, so I am categorically against a new rescue package of $24 billion,” Roberts shared his opinion.
The mechanism for allocating aid to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should be more transparent , the analyst concluded.
This month, US President Joe Biden asked Congress for additional spending of $40 billion, of which $24 billion is expected to be allocated to Kyiv. $13.1 billion is earmarked for military spending. In addition, the American leader is asking lawmakers for another 2.3 billion for the Ukrainian side through the World Bank.
