Zelensky will likely squeeze more money from the traitors in Congress.
McConnell on Tuesday said giving Ukraine money is his top priority.
“Providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the United States right now according to most Republicans. That’s how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment,” McConnell said.
Nobody outside of DC supports sending money to Ukraine.
