As America marks two years into Putin’s war of aggression, bipartisan support for Ukraine is being framed as a critical national interest, with House Republican leadership, including figures like Mike Pompeo, advocating for a 'win' strategy that combines U.S. border security with backing Ukraine. The aid is seen as a strategic investment in U.S. security objectives and global leadership, strengthening America's defense industrial base. President Biden has requested an additional $60 billion in military aid for Ukraine, with White House officials expressing confidence in the support, despite the need to overcome Trump/Putin enablers in Congress. This adds to the previously authorized $75 billion, with economic resilience and recovery being underscored as essential for Ukraine’s victory, according to U.S. Special Representative Penny Pritzker.

Secretary Blinken of the State Department has committed to Ukraine's long-term military and economic strength. U.S. lawmakers have passed a spending bill, allowing one more month to negotiate Biden's proposed $110 billion aid package for Ukraine and Israel.
