Congress may be on break, but the future of US military aid to Ukraine is already becoming a post-midterm issue. Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum in Poland, Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., said Democrats would move quickly to restart aid if they win control of the House, promising a much faster process for getting assistance to Kyiv.
In this episode of the Congressional Roundup, Breaking Defense Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta explains why turning that promise into action could take longer than Democrats hope. A divided Congress and unfinished spending business could complicate the timeline, but Himes’s message to European allies was clear: If Democrats gain control on Capitol Hill, renewed Ukraine aid will be a priority.
