On February 24 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. The invasion caused Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II, with around 7.1 million Ukrainians fleeing the country and a third of the population displaced. It has also caused global food shortages. From February 2022 – September 2022 the U.S. government approved approximately $50 billion in economic and military aid for Ukraine. The funding is earmarked for training, equipment, weapons and other support—such as salaries and stipends—for Ukraine’s military and security forces and budgetary support for Ukrainian government operations.

We should provide some support but we should be supplying considerably less of it. The main suppliers for Ukraine should be the European countries as this is a conflict that stands to affect them not us.
@9C9RRLQ2yrs2Y
No, but we should provide humanitarian aid and establish military protection zones for the protection of the Ukrainian people.
@9FC2TRP1yr1Y
Yes but do not send troops
@9D785C61yr1Y
Yes, but decrease the resources we are spending and Europe needs to contribute more. We should also call out Zelensky for his crackdowns on churches and political opponents.
@9DQR97C1yr1Y
No, we should not give aid to any foreign nations
@7YNGP9T2yrs2Y
Yes, but only military supplies
@99C4S3J2yrs2Y
No, absolutely not, Ukraine should rely on their own resources to defend themselves, and we should not support Nazi regimes either.
@98SN73G2yrs2Y
No, we should support Russia.
