The United States may refuse to finance Ukraine if the Republicans win the midterm congressional elections


 Axios writes.

The leader of the Republican minority in the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, publicly confirmed what many in Washington and Europe fear:

"The Republican-controlled Congress can turn off the spigot financing Ukraine's military efforts."

"I think that if people are sitting in recession, they will not give Ukraine carte blanche," McCarthy said.

There has been a noticeable departure from what was once a broad bipartisan consensus on the issue of supporting Kiev, Axios points out.

This shift is probably caused by feedback from American voters, said Member of the House of Representatives Kelly Armstrong.:

"When people see a 13 percent increase in food prices, a doubling of energy and utility bills... if you live in a border community and you are flooded with migrants and fentanyl, Ukraine is the furthest you can imagine."
