House GOP Divided Over Ukraine Aid in Wake of Navalny's Death

The sudden death of Alexei Navalny intensifies pressure on House Republicans to pass a new round of aid for Ukraine, highlighting divisions within the party.

  • The death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has heightened calls for the U.S. to support Ukraine against Russian aggression, with President Biden criticizing House Republicans for their inaction.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson faces opposition from within his party, with some GOP members demanding border security measures in exchange for Ukraine aid.
  • The Senate has passed a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine, but its fate in the House remains uncertain due to internal GOP disagreements and demands for stricter anti-migrant policies.
  • Navalny's death, attributed to natural causes by Russian officials, is widely disputed, adding to the urgency for the U.S. to take a stand against Putin's regime.
  • Bipartisan efforts to introduce an alternative aid package face significant hurdles, as both conservative and progressive factions express opposition.
