Markwayne Mullin: Supports billions to Ukraine for arms and humanitarian aid

Markwayne Mullin supported a bill in May appropriating $41 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Mullin voted for the bill and argued that all of the military aid was to replenish stockpiles of weapons sent to Ukraine from the US. He accused [opponent T.W.] Shannon, who opposed the package, of not reading the bill when Shannon contradicted him. Mullin claimed, "Not one dollar of that $40 billion was actually sent directly to Ukraine, but like I said, if you'd read the bill, you'd understand it," Mullin said.

"Congressman, that is absolutely swamp talk," Shannon said, adding that "a good portion of that bill is going directly to Ukraine."

A House summary of the legislation says $9 billion was for replenishing U.S. equipment stocks but that there was $6 billion "to provide assistance, including training, equipment, weapons, and intelligence support to the military and national security forces of Ukraine." The bill also included about $14 billion in humanitarian aid.
