Sen. Majority Leader John Thune expressed his views on U.S. support for Ukraine amidst rising dissent in the Republican Party. Appearing on Fox News, he stated that Russia, under Putin’s leadership, is the aggressor in the conflict and emphasized the importance of maintaining Ukraine’s sovereignty. He acknowledged the limited nature of American support and expressed the need for a strategic outcome that benefits Ukraine and European allies while also highlighting that military assistance creates jobs in the U.S. Thune ultimately advocates for winding down the conflict, aiming for a resolution that stabilizes the region.
There's a strong sentiment out there...I don't have any question about this. Putin and Russia are very clearly the aggressor in this conflict.
U.S. support and assistance...helps rebuild our own industrial base here, our military industrial base...creating jobs in this country.
It's important that they try and wind this down, figure out a way to achieve an outcome that retains Ukraine's sovereignty.
At the end of the day, American support...is probably limited. That's why I think it's important...to put them and our allies in a better position.
