Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., who is a staunch supporter of Ukraine and critic of Russia, declared in a post on X that ‘real Republicans know that Putin’s Russia hates the West and freedom.’
‘We also know that Ukraine wants democracy, free markets and rule of law. We stand with right vs evil. Reagan, Churchill, Eisenhower… that is our legacy. I won’t walk away from it,’ he added.
The U.S. has provided significant aid to the Eastern European nation over the last few years since Moscow invaded its neighbor, sparking the Russia-Ukraine war.
Bacon asserted on CSPAN’s ‘Washington Journal’ that it is in America’s ‘national security interest for Ukraine to win,’ warning that a Russian victory would cause the U.S. to spend ‘a lot more money.’
The congressman has expressed support for helping to arm Ukraine.
