Part 2/5:
In contrast, Byron Donalds, a Republican representative, sharply rebuffed Moulton's characterization. He emphasized the substantial financial support the U.S. has already provided to Ukraine, estimating over $200 billion. He pointed out that it was not the U.S. that started the destruction, but rather the war instigated by Russia. Donalds argued that the U.S. assistance is a necessary investment, and with the call for Ukraine to begin repaying this support, he sees nothing wrong. He accused the Democrats of failing to bring a resolution to the conflict and claimed that Trump is focused on closing the matter effectively.
