Exiled Belarusian opposition leader Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya has called on U.S. lawmakers to support the Belarusian democracy movement and tighten sanctions on authoritarian leader Alyaksandr Lukashenka.
Senate Republicans blocked an emergency spending bill that included $50 billion in security assistance for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel.
The failure of the vote is seen as a reflection of waning support in the United States for continuing to fund Ukraine's war effort.
The U.S. Senate recently saw a failed vote on an emergency spending bill aimed at providing aid to Ukraine and Israel. The bill, which was blocked by Senate Republicans, included $50 billion in security assistance for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel. The failure of the vote has been attributed to a demand for strict new border restrictions in exchange for the funding. This development has been seen as a reflection of waning support in the United States for continuing to fund Ukraine's war effort, as polls indicate that Americans are losing interest in providing financial assistance.
The bill's failure poses a challenge to President Joe Biden's goal of providing aid before the end of the year. Despite this setback, Biden has expressed openness to some policy changes but accused Republicans of playing chicken with national security. He has asked Congress for nearly $106 billion to fund the wars in Ukraine, Israel, and other security needs, but has faced resistance on Capitol Hill.
In the midst of these developments, exiled Belarusian opposition leader Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya has called on U.S. lawmakers to support the Belarusian democracy movement and tighten sanctions on authoritarian leader Alyaksandr Lukashenka. Tsikhanouskaya also requested Congress to push the International Criminal Court to investigate Lukashenka for the deportation of Ukrainian children to Belarus.
Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has also made appeals to international leaders, calling on G7 leaders to confound Putin and maintain support for Ukraine. The outcome of these appeals and the future of U.S. aid to Ukraine and Israel remain uncertain following the Senate's failed vote.
The failed vote reflects waning support in the United States for continuing to fund Ukraine's war effort, as polls show that Americans are losing interest in providing financial assistance.
