Support for Ukraine and opposition to Russian aggression remain high, but confidence in President Joe Biden is low, and his leadership of the international effort has been lacking.
His inability to articulate the threat Russia poses to US interests in concrete terms and his refusal to commit to Ukraine’s victory — never mind devising and supplying a strategy to achieve it — are wearing patience thin.
Only under these conditions will the war end on terms that favor Americans, who have a clear interest in stopping Russian aggression, degrading the Russian military and backing our democratic allies in NATO and in Asia who know the high risks of allowing an expansionist authoritarian power to succeed in using nuclear blackmail to subsume sovereign nations.
Congress should not settle for Biden’s platitudes and must continue to press him to cooperate with allies to fully back Ukraine’s victory. But there is a misunderstanding that the money is going there at the expense of here. Not so. A bipartisan bill would give the president the authority to make Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian oligarchs pay for Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts.
