The ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, Representative Joe Wilson, has recently expressed concern over President Joe Biden’s lack of vocal support for Ukraine. He highlighted that despite the ongoing conflict with Russia, the Biden administration seems to be less involved in providing aid and public support to Ukraine.
Wilson believes this silence is detrimental to both Ukraine’s struggle for independence and the U.S.’s image globally. The congressman notes that previously, there were talks of potential aid. Yet, now there are no signs of such support.
These sentiments underscore growing concerns within the Armed Services Committee about the impact of the Biden administration’s foreign policy towards Russia. The lack of clarity and communication further exacerbate these issues.
While Biden has previously committed to supporting Ukraine to resist Russian influence, the lack of recent messages of support has prompted Wilson to question the administration’s commitment. The role of the U.S. as a global leader in international conflict is at risk if support for democracies like Ukraine decreases.
The Biden administration has not yet responded to Wilson’s comments. It remains to be seen whether there will be a re-commitment to support Ukraine or if the current silence is indicative of a shift in U.S. foreign policy.
