Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) told Breitbart News on Thursday that President Joe Biden's hosting of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was just another ploy to extract money from American taxpayers for “endless wars with no clear strategy.”
“I look forward to welcoming my friend, Ukrainian President Zelensky, to the White House next week,” Biden wrote on Thursday. “During his visit, I will reaffirm America's commitment to helping Ukraine defend its freedom and independence.”
In a statement to Breitbart News, Davidson said, “Zelensky's visit to Washington is nothing more than an attempt to squeeze more money out of American taxpayers for an endless war with no clear strategy. The Biden-Harris Administration is trying to bankrupt our country while moving us closer to direct involvement in foreign conflicts. Instead of putting America first, they are leading us down a dangerous path that risks dragging the United States into wars that the American people should not be fighting.”
Parliament Approved $175 billion in military and economic aid to Ukraine.
Davidson has long advocated for the Biden-Harris administration to formally adopt a strategy for U.S. support for Ukraine's long-running conflict with Russia.
Biden's State Department official told Davidson in February that a Ukrainian “victory” was “necessary” and that Russian leader Vladimir Putin “cannot just wait for us to win.”
Our goal is for Ukraine to emerge from this war as a democratic, independent, sovereign, and prosperous nation capable of deterring and defending against future aggression. If Ukraine achieves this goal, the war will have been won. Moreover, we want Ukraine to be integrated into the community of democracies and to contribute to transatlantic security going forward.
A Russian victory in the war of imperial conquest would further strengthen Russian military power. A stronger and more aggressive Russia would continue to destabilize Europe and pose a greater threat to NATO and the United States. Other U.S. adversaries and competitors would take note of this as they calculate the costs and consequences of future acts of aggression. Ukraine's victory is possible and Europe, America, and a rules-based global order. [Emphasis added]
In July, Davidson sponsored a resolution with Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) that said the U.S. should not enter into any security agreements with Ukraine or allow it into NATO.
“President Biden and his globalist allies may have an interest in escalating this war and ceding U.S. sovereignty to NATO, but the American people do not,” Davidson wrote.
