First Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and the country’s Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said she believes the US will keep up financial support for its fight against Russia if Republicans take control of Congress following the midterm elections, regardless of threats from some leaders to scrutinize spending more closely, Bloomberg reports.
“We really appreciate your bipartisan support,” Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said in an interview with Bloomberg News on Tuesday. “We’re not worried. Ukraine fights for very concrete rights and values. I think the US will support until we get victory.”
Svyrydenko made a new call for allied nations to send more weapons and financing, including air-defense systems to target Iranian drones and Russian missiles. She spoke just hours before the first results were set to come out from elections that could jolt the Biden administration’s foreign policy agenda.
