• The House passed a more than $60 billion bill that provides more military aid to Ukraine.
  • It’s part of a larger foreign aid package that’s likely to pass the Senate and be signed into law.
  • 112 Republicans voted it against — the most ever, and a majority of the GOP conference.

Saturday’s vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber.

In the two years since Russia’s invasion, opposition to aiding Ukraine has grown from a fringe position to a majority view among House GOP lawmakers. Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence.

Here are the 112 House Republicans who voted against the bill.

    Your post history shows you are intelligent and articulate. I feel that, geopolitically, that is a self-destructive act for our country over time. Why do you feel it’s a bad idea?

      Because the US has no intention of saving Ukraine. The intent is for the war to go on as long as possible so we can continue making a shitload of money on selling weapons. As soon as it’s no longer profitable we’ll let Russia roll over Ukraine.
