 abstract = {Further U.S. backing for Ukraine's war effort against Russia is set to continue, following an April 20 vote in the House of Representatives. Republicans in Congress had blocked the approval of additional aid for many months. The final outcome was hard fought and required Speaker Mike Johnson to allow a vote that a majority of his own party opposed. The driving force behind Republicans' reluctance to continue assisting Ukraine is the party base's support for an America First policy and former President Donald Trump's antipathy toward Ukraine.},
