Blocking US military aid to Ukraine would result in Kyiv exhausting its battlefield resources and “force a spoof peace settlement with Russia,” David Root, a Washington-based pro-Ukraine advocate, wrote for the Kyiv Post.

Root argued that extremist Republicans — those he called “‘America First’ isolationists” — were falling into a trap laid by Russian President Vladimir Putin to “rebuild his Soviet/Russia” empire.
Ultimately, Republicans’ stance would, Root argued, endanger US soldiers, because Ukraine’s defeat would only spur more conflict between the Kremlin and NATO countries, which would inevitably result in US involvement.
