Dr. Rand Paul Opposes Funding for Ukraine Over American Workers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) expressed his strong disapproval of including funding for Ukraine in the upcoming spending bill during an interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News last night.

Dr. Paul stated, "I am not going along with it, I will not allow my consent to let them push through more money for Ukraine, particularly when they have the gall to tell us they’re going to pay Ukrainian government workers while our workers go unpaid. That is the height of gall and I won’t stand for it."

The Kentucky Senator highlighted his concerns about prioritizing the needs of Ukraine over those of American workers. He emphasized that it is unacceptable to allocate funds for Ukrainian government workers while American workers continue to face financial hardships.
