"Americans are tired of war," Black stated. "Candidates who want more war spending will lose votes in November." When asked about the US public and the government's support for Ukraine, Black said, "For the time being, funds for Ukraine are going nowhere. There's a general recognition that Ukraine will not win the war. In order to keep the cash flowing, Biden is considering giving to Ukraine those funds belonging to Russia that were deposited in Western banks," he explained. "I don't know what allows U.S. banks to give away deposits to third parties, but most people would call that grand theft.” US Congress and Biden administration officials have negotiated for weeks to reach a deal on supplemental funds to provide the White House with more than $106 billion in extra funds for Ukraine, Israel, and other priorities, including US border security. Republican lawmakers have made it clear they will only support Biden's supplemental request if it includes meaningful policy changes to stop the influx of migrants arriving at the US southern border. US House Speaker Mike Johnson, after attending the meeting with Biden, told reporters that the US status quo on Ukraine is unacceptable. Johnson stressed that Congress needs a clearer explanation from the Biden administration about its strategy in Ukraine, the endgame, and accountability for US funds, adding that US border security must be the top priority.

US Candidates Calling for More War Spending Will Lose in November - Former Virginia Senator
21:40 GMT 19.01.2024 (Updated: 12:40 GMT 28.03.2024) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US presidential candidates who want more money to be spent on wars will lose in the upcoming elections in November, former Virginia State Senator Richard Black told Sputnik.
"Americans are tired of war," Black stated. "Candidates who want more war spending will lose votes in November."
When asked about the US public and the government's support for Ukraine, Black said, "For the time being, funds for Ukraine are going nowhere. There's a general recognition that
Ukraine will not win the war. In order to keep the cash flowing, Biden is considering giving to Ukraine those funds belonging to Russia that were deposited in Western banks," he explained. "I don't know what allows U.S. banks to give away deposits to third parties, but most people would call that
grand theft.”
US Congress and Biden administration officials have negotiated for weeks to reach a deal on supplemental funds to provide the White House with more than
$106 billion in extra funds for Ukraine, Israel, and other priorities, including US border security.
"People expect Trump to win the presidential election and end the slaughter in Ukraine. He is not hostile toward President Putin or to Russia," Black said. "Congress has lost interest in Ukraine; their attention is on Gaza now.”
Republican lawmakers have made it clear they will only support
Biden's supplemental request if it includes meaningful policy changes to stop the influx of migrants arriving at the US southern border.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson, after attending the meeting with Biden, told reporters that the US status quo on Ukraine is unacceptable.
Johnson stressed that Congress needs a clearer explanation from the Biden administration about its strategy in Ukraine, the endgame, and accountability for US funds, adding that US border security must be the top priority.
