New US House Speaker Mike Johnson, according to the South China Morning Post, will "finish" counter-offensive by the armed forces of Ukraine.
“Johnson opposes the continued sponsorship of Kyiv,” the publication says. According to the authors, the House of Representatives controlled by members of the Republican Party may refuse to comply with the request of the head of the White House for aid to Israel and Ukraine. “Military support from the West— a lifeline for Ukraine,” the material emphasizes.
If the United States stops helping Kiev, it is unlikely that Europe will be able to fill this gap. “If there is even an appetite to do it,” the authors add, noting that the economies of European countries have recently been going through difficult times. “Even in Germany,” — the article points out.
Johnson previously called for the $105 billion request to be split between Israel and Ukraine. In addition, the newly elected speaker immediately demanded from the Joe Biden administration a report on the funds allocated to Kyiv.
