US Senator Says Will Take ‘100 Years’ to Determine Whether Aid for Ukraine Worthwhile

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - It will take a century to ultimately determine whether the United States’ support for Ukraine was a worthwhile endeavor, US Senator Roger Marshall stated on Tuesday.

"I don’t know who’s wrong and right when it comes to Ukraine funding. I think it’s going to take 100 years and history to judge who’s right on the Ukraine funding," Marshall said during a press conference.
Marshall and several other Republican senators spoke in favor of holding separate votes on US aid for Israel and Ukraine, following a $106 billion supplemental funding request from the Biden administration that includes assistance for both countries.

The US House of Representatives passed a standalone Israel aid package, which the White House and Senate Democrats have opposed.
Marshall stressed that he is certain in his support for Israel funding even though the senator is unsure whether he is correct on Ukraine funding.
US Senator J.D. Vance said Senate Democrats are avoiding holding a separate debate on US support for Ukraine. Democrats do not want the Biden administration to have to answer "tough questions" about its approach to Ukraine, Vance added.
