Fox News: Internal memo shows pro-Ukraine Republicans making case for aid to increasingly skeptical GOP
Senior House Republicans are urging Congress to support Ukraine in its defense against Russia. They propose a plan involving providing critical weapons to Ukraine, imposing tighter sanctions on Putin's regime, and transferring frozen Russian assets to Ukraine. The report also criticizes President Biden's handling of the conflict and emphasizes the need for Ukraine to negotiate from a position of strength. (, )
Conservatives in the House are becoming skeptical of continued aid to Ukraine, while Ukrainian officials are seeking more aid from the US. The report argues that aid to Ukraine is crucial for the US economy and for preventing further aggression from adversaries. It refutes claims that the US bears a disproportionate financial burden and highlights the alliances between Russia, China, and Iran. (, )

She lost her seat in Congress after opposing Trump and co-chaired the Jan. 6 committee.
