Hundreds of people have died as Russian strongman Vladimir Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine.

A large faction of far-right-wing Republicans in Congress sent a letter to GOP leadership on Friday demanding they delay efforts to deliver military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, which is currently under attack by the Russian military on orders from President Vladimir Putin.

The Biden administration has requested $10 billion to aid Ukraine, where, according to the United Nations, more than 400 civilians have died and from which 1.7 million people have fled since Russian forces invaded the Eastern European nation on Feb. 24.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy implored the United States to send more aid in a private Zoom meeting with members of Congress on Saturday. Congressional Democrats want to include the funding in a spending bill that must pass by Friday in order to avert a government shutdown.

18. Worse ... scratch the surface and Putins arse appears... they are traitors to the US

These shites need to be arrested and tried for treason ... anything less is just farting
around pretending they have the right to be there. How long would we have allowed Nazi to serve in Congress.

Do we have less ability or will than our grandparents???
Seriously, I'm glad mine are dead... they fought Nazi and would be so angered by this shite happening here and now.

Them and their goddamn horse.

I guess Putin takes preference over Jebus in their good, christian, Trumpublican hearts.
