But there are also less chaotic Republicans in the House who support Ukraine in its struggle against Russian aggression.
A day after Biden’s trip to Kyiv, a delegation of five House Republicans, led by Rep. Mike McCaul of Texas, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, visited Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to deliver a message of continued U.S. support for the embattled country.
Oksana Markarova, Ukraine’s Ambassador to the U.S., thanked the Republican representatives in a Tweet for meeting Zelenskyy and “for important signals of support to Ukraine, and our fight for Freedom!. Together we win.”
And this is where things took a surprising turn because McCaul actually supported sending F-16 fighters and long-range ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) missiles to Ukraine, which the Biden administration hasn’t yet decided to provide.
On Monday, Republican Sen. Jim Risch of Idaho also supported providing Ukraine with more lethal force, including advanced fighters.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell visited the Munich Security Conference in a bipartisan show of support for Ukraine.
Schumer thanked McConnell for working with him and President
Biden to deliver $113 billion in military and economic aid to Ukraine over the past year.
“To the people of Ukraine, I pledge that the United States Senate will not abandon our commitment to stand shoulder with you in this time of war,” Schumer said.
