NEW YORK, January 9. /TASS/. US billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk believes that by providing aid to Ukraine, the US is just sacrificing its youth without any progress achieved in the conflict.
"Another $65B to Ukraine? What’s the exit strategy?" Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter), commenting on a post with a screenshot of a supplemental funding request, including the allocation of $65 billion to Kiev.
"I support Ukraine, but this seems like a forever war with no progress. Just sacrificing the youth of the country for no territorial gain," he blogged.
The White House submitted to Congress in October a supplemental finding request for the fiscal year, which began in the US on October 1, primarily to help Israel and Ukraine, but also to counter China and Russia. In total, the executive branch, led by Democrat Biden, would like to have about $106 billion for these purposes.
The future of the request and alternative bills remains unclear. Several Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate have recently spoken out against continued financial aid to Kiev.
