Republicans in Congress are pushing for the US to provide Ukraine with non-military aid as a loan. The State Department of the United States has already responded to these calls.
US State Department rejected the idea of a loan for Ukraine
The US State Department speaker, Matthew Miller, commented on this matter.
We do not believe that burdening Ukraine with billions in foreign debt as it tries to revive its economy, which is ultimately the best way for it to stand on its own two feet and defend itself without the help of other countries, is an appropriate step at this time.
Matthew Miller
US State Dep speaker
It is worth noting that the head of American diplomacy, Anthony Blinken, has not yet commented on this idea in any way.
US aid to Ukraine. What is currently known
Recently, it became known that the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, and the Republican heads of key committees of the House of Representatives are actively working on creating their aid package for Ukraine.
According to journalists, they are currently discussing a proposal to treat part of the non-military aid as a loan.
This information was confirmed to the media by Mike McCaul, the head of the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.
McCall also says the plan could have a "generous repayment system" to help Ukraine.
According to Republican Lindsay Graham, former US President Donald Trump's proposal to turn part of the aid to Kyiv into a loan will help unblock the House of Representatives.
There was also information that Democrats in the US House of Representatives are preparing an attempt to bypass Republican Speaker Mike Johnson to force him to vote on a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
