Axios said a possible Republican victory in the U.S. House of Representatives elections could lead to a “turn off the tap” that finances Ukraine.
“When people see food prices rise by 13%, electricity bills double, utility bills double… and if you live in the border area and there are immigrants, Ukraine is the last thing,” the site added, quoting a North Dakota representative. Kelly Armstrong is on your mind.
He also pointed out that a change in Washington’s attitude towards financing Kyiv will be caused by a change in the opinion of American voters.
On the issue of funding Ukraine, Texas Representative Michael McCall added that Republicans want to “see more accountability and oversight.”
Republican Kevin McCarthy said in an interview with Punchbowl News: “I think when people are in a recession, they will not give Ukraine a cartel. They just won’t.”

In November next year, mid-term elections will be held in the United States, which will form a new House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. Presidential elections are scheduled for 2024.
And Bloomberg recently published economic forecasts for a recession in the US within 12 months.
Many believe that the allocation of funds to help Ukraine has already become a point of contention between representatives of Democrats and Republicans, who hope to regain dominance in the upcoming elections.
