Ukraine's Military Aid at Risk as Congress Sends Dangerous Message

Republicans in Congress have hindered the provision of new aid to Ukraine, prompting a legal scholar to argue that the billions of dollars in frozen Russian assets should be seized and used to help Ukraine if Congress refuses to provide military aid. The Biden administration has previously disputed this idea, but the legal scholar and others argue that it is possible under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The ongoing politicization of aid to Ukraine raises concerns about the future of US support for the country.
