– Then you will fail – Dagsavisen

In the United States, an aid package for Ukraine worth more than $60 billion has been blocked in Congress for almost half a year, with the help of Republicans loyal to Trump, NTB wrote. Many politicians and experts have warned of the consequences for Ukraine if US support does not materialize.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the country urgently needs more ammunition and air defense in the fight against the Russians.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is now urgently demanding that Republicans and presidential candidate Donald Trump support the aid package for the Ukrainians in the war against Russia and Vladimir Putin.

– Donald Trump will fail to “make America great again” if he allows Ukraine to fall into the hands of Vladimir Putin, according to Johnson’s warning, according to what the British newspaper “Daily Mail” reported. Telegraph.

“Make America Great Again,” or “MAGA,” is Trump’s famous slogan.

The position of the United States is at stake

After a meeting with Trump in March, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated that Trump would not spend anything financially on “the war between Ukraine and Russia” if he became president again.

Boris Johnson believes that Republicans and Democrats should side with Ukraine in the war. It is believed that only then will the United States maintain its position as the world's superpower.

– If you belong to the party of Ronald Reagan (the former US president is a Republican, note to the newspaper), and if you want to make America great again, then you cannot start a potential Republican presidential term with a defeat to Vladimir Putin. The former prime minister says this would be a disaster for the West and the United States.

Supreme Republican Appeal on Ukraine

Senior Senator Mitch McConnell (82 years old), the Republican minority leader in the Senate, has promised to fight hard to secure support for Ukraine in his party.

We do not lose any American soldiers in the war. The Ukrainians are the ones fighting. If Russia takes over Ukraine, a NATO country would be next on the list. “And then all of a sudden we're in the middle of it,” McConnell said earlier in April.

McConnell's father fought on the ground for the United States in World War II, and the 82-year-old said his father always warned him about the threat posed by Russia. This feeling has become stronger, according to the senator, which contributed to putting a lot of effort into working on the support package.
