URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – While President Donald Trump is working to broker a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine, something the previous administration never seriously attempted, a group of House Republicans decided to throw a wrench into that effort by helping Democrats push through a hefty new aid package.
The House of Representatives passed a bill this week approving an additional $9 billion in aid to Ukraine while slapping harsh sanctions on Russia. Eighteen Republicans crossed the aisle to vote in favor of the measure, which includes sanctions targeting Russian banks, oil, and mining companies, a ban on Russian oil imports, and 500% tariffs on all other Russian goods entering the United States. The bill also authorized an $8 billion extension of Biden’s lend-lease program, allowing Ukraine to purchase weapons, and tacks on an additional $1 billion in security and reconstruction aid.
All of this while Trump is actively trying to end the war through diplomacy. You’d think Congress might let the President work before throwing more fuel on the fire.
Trump has been crystal clear about his position. He wants both sides to come to the table, make concessions, and end a conflict that has already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and destabilized much of Europe. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to take a step in that direction, sending a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin calling for direct, face-to-face negotiations.
Trump responded to the development on Monday, stating, “I think it would be great if they met,” and urging both parties to “get it done.” When pressed on what specific compromises he expects from each side, the President kept his cards close to his chest but made his broader expectation plain.
“I’ve been very strong on the fact that they’ve got to get that over with,” he said. “I want them each to make certain compromises. I think they’re going to do that.”
That is the kind of straightforward, results-oriented leadership that has been absent from American foreign policy for years. No endless proxy war cheerleading, no blank checks with zero accountability, just a president who wants the killing to stop and a deal to get made.
🚨 The House just passed the "Ukraine Support Act" with 18 Republican's voting Yea.

The 18 Republicans who voted for this bill owe their constituents a serious explanation. The American people are not interested in funding an open-ended conflict indefinitely, particularly when their own president is actively engaged in peace negotiations. Undermining that effort with a multibillion-dollar aid package and sweeping new sanctions does not help move things toward resolution, it complicates them.
