“Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) speaks in highly personal terms about the horrors that her friends and family in Ukraine have witnessed since Russia invaded her home country more than two years ago,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“But when it comes to the U.S. sending billions in more aid to the beleaguered country, Spartz is skeptical.
The Indiana Republican, who is one of the House’s most colorful personalities, said she doesn’t support the Senate’s recently passed package that includes $60 billion in Ukraine-related spending along with funds for Israel and Taiwan. Additional money for Ukraine is expected to get a vote in some form in the House this spring.”“Spartz’s opposition to the bipartisan bill is a stark example of the divisions among Republicans in Congress over further assistance to Kyiv amid opposition from many GOP voters.”
