Yeah, they're hoping to install enough Republicans in the 2024 US elections that the US will stop supplying Ukraine.
Ding ding ding!
They will still get weapons from the EU though because Ukraine used to supply huge amount of the grain supply and the EU wants that back.
And the UK will continue to supply weapons like storm shadow missiles, tank ammunition, and the 3D printed mini helicopter drone things because the right wing party are going to lose the next election. The Russians seemed to have lost interest in trying to influence those elections.
They'll still get weapons from the EU and European countries, true, but about half of all their military aid has come from States. The EU simply doesn't have the capability to replace that amount of aid.
Seems the pentagon has no intention of stopping no matter what the legislative branch says, it will take the executive to tell them to stop before they maybe do. They might just “lose” some equipment in Ukraine like they’ve lost billions who knows where
