House Speaker Mike Johnson is deliberating on how to navigate a difficult path in securing funding for Ukraine as tensions escalate in the region. The proposed package aims to provide ammunition and weaponry to support Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression. Johnson has expressed his commitment to pushing for tens of billions in wartime funding for Ukraine and Israel upon the House's return in April.
However, the speaker faces various dilemmas within Congress, including deciding whether the funding should be in the form of loans or grants and whether the Senate-approved $95 billion package should be handled as a whole or in parts. Additionally, Johnson must contend with internal opposition from hardline conservatives who are against aid for Ukraine.
