Russia urges U.S. to prioritize border crisis over Ukraine support
TL;DR
Russia's envoy to the US has suggested that the White House should redirect funds being used to support Ukraine towards the southern border to address America's long-running migration crisis. The envoy framed his opposition to the latest American security package as a humanitarian concern. The US has directed more than $75 billion in support to Ukraine since Moscow's full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Migration pressure at the southern border poses a significant political problem for President Joe Biden.
