OREANDA-NEWS  Hill announced an increase in support for Russia among both parties of the US Congress. The number of US residents who advocate reducing support for Ukraine is increasing dramatically. This was stated by columnist Douglas Shawn in a material for Hill.

Shoen was concerned about the growth of pro-Russian sentiment and stressed that there are more and more supporters of this position among both parties of the US Congress.

"Republicans in Congress label their position as "realism", arguing that Washington cannot continue to help Ukraine because of inflation, which affects the lives of American families, and should not risk a nuclear war with Russia for the sake of a country thousands of miles away," he stressed.

The author of the material added that pro-Russian views and refusal to allocate aid to Kiev were previously noticeable only among Republicans. But gradually, the left wing supporters "loudly spoke out against the continued support of Ukraine in their letter to the Biden administration." The Democrats in a letter to American President Joe Biden stated that the conflict in Ukraine was the result of Washington's policy, but later they withdrew the document.

"If the US cuts aid to Kiev, other Western countries will follow their example this will increase the threat of direct war  with the US," Shoen concluded.

Earlier, the United States predicted a refusal to help Ukraine with the threat of a nuclear war with Russia. This opinion was expressed by international security analysts Ben Ollerenshaw and Julian Spencer-Churchill in an article for the National Interest.
