You can count Ohio Senator JD Vance as one of the strongest opponents of aid to Ukraine in the United States Senate.
During the Munich Security Conference on February 18, 2024, Vance argued that the current Ukraine aid package being debate in Congress “fundamentally change the reality” on the battlefield in Ukraine and that Russia has an incentive to reach a negotiated settlement.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, USVice President Kamala Harris and other leading elected officials have advocated passage of the $60 billion in aid at the Munich Security Conference. These took place at a time when Ukraine has withdrawn troops from the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka after multiple months of brutal combat. .
Vance declared that “the problem in Ukraine … is that there’s no clear end point” and that the US government doesn’t produce enough weapons to prosecute wars in eastern Europe, the Middle East, and “potentially a contingency in East Asia.”
