USA:n Ukraina-apu tarvitsee enää Bidenin hyväksynnän – Nämä senaattorit äänestivät vastaan

Yhdysvaltain senaatti on hyväksynyt Ukraina-tukipaketin. Yksi nimi nousee esiin esitystä vastaan äänestäneiden senaattorien joukosta.

Yhdysvaltain senaatti hyväksyi esityksen, joka sisältää Ukraina-apua noin 56 miljardin euron edestä.

Esitys meni senaatissa läpi äänin 79–18. Kolme senaattoria äänesti tyhjää.

Aloitetta tuki 46 demokraattia, 31 republikaania ja kaksi sitoutumatonta senaattoria.

Esitystä vastaan äänesti kaksi demokraattia, 13 republikaania sekä sitoutumaton Bernie Sanders.

Demokraattien presidenttiehdokkuutta vuosina 2016 ja 2020 tavoitelleen Sandersin nimi pistää silmään listasta.

Sanders perusteli äänestyspäätöstään X:ssä. Hänen mukaansa Yhdysvaltain veronmaksajien rahoja ei pitäisi toimittaa Israelin pääministeri Benjamin Netajahun hallinnolle, joka käy sotaa Palestiinassa.

Käsiteltävänä oleva esitys sisälsi myös apua Israelille runsaan 24 miljardin euron edestä.

Biden sanoo allekirjoittavansa lain mahdollisimman nopeasti. Ukraina on saamassa apua todennäköisesti jo tällä viikolla, Biden lupaa.

”Minä allekirjoitan tämän lain ja pidän puheen yhdysvaltalaisille niin pian kuin tämä saapuu pöydälleni huomenna, niin voimme aloittaa aseiden ja varusteiden lähettämisen Ukrainalle tällä viikolla.”
