Biden consistently delays Ukraine aid for Russia conflict, claims Rep. Don Bacon.
Rep. Don Bacon Criticizes Biden’s Handling of Aid to Ukraine
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has criticized President Joe Biden’s handling of the United States’s aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia, stating that he is always “too late.” Bacon’s statement comes in light of the news of a possible transfer of F-16 jets from the U.S. to Ukraine. According to a new interview with Fox News, Bacon claimed that throughout the war in Ukraine, Biden has been at least four or five months “too late,” with the F-16 jets being “six months too late.”
Ukraine Needs Faster Aid
“As you mentioned it, every step of the way, [Biden] says no, no, and then five or six months later says yes,” said Bacon. “But that’s not very helpful for Ukraine. They need these systems faster.”
Our National Interest
The war in Ukraine has lasted for over a year, beginning when Russia invaded the smaller country in February 2022. Bacon stated that it is in “our national interest” that Ukraine wins the war, but that Biden and his team “do a lot of hand-wringing” in their aid. “They do a lot of second guessing, and triple guessing, and they’re not very aggressive,” said Bacon. “I think they look weak in the eyes of the world.”
Russian Response
The news of Biden supporting training Ukrainian pilots on fighter aircraft, including the F-16, has reached Russia, with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko claiming that Western countries are sticking to “an escalation scenario, which carries enormous risks for them.” Two Ukrainian pilots already went to Arizona in early March to work with the U.S. military to train via a simulator. A military official told the Washington Examiner at the time that the “familiarization event” was a first between U.S. and Ukrainian pilots and that the Ukrainians did not fly any U.S. craft.
Conclusion
It remains to be seen how the situation in Ukraine will develop, but it is clear that Rep. Don Bacon is not satisfied with President Joe Biden’s handling of the aid to Ukraine. With tensions between Russia and Ukraine still high, it is important that the United States provides the necessary support to help Ukraine defend itself.
