Ukraine is without money, but with long -range missiles. What to expect from a new US National Security Advisor Mike Voltz

Mike Voltz will be the new adviser to the US National Security - Trump has already announced this. Journalist Ostap Yarish remembers that this man has been saying in recent years about Ukraine, finding in his words both anxious and moderately optimistic accents for us. The new adviser to the US National Security (now Jake Sullivana) will become Mike Voltz, Congressman from Florida and veteran of special operations.

What is the position on Ukraine's support? In the Congress, Mike Voltz initially supported the laws with the help of Ukraine, spoke about the need for victory and came to Kiev as part of congress delegations. But in April 2024 he voted against additional funding for $ 60 billion. In his criticism he was direct: "The era of bottomless checks for Ukraine from Congress is over. Europe should make more for Ukraine, the US should protect its Southern border," Mike Voltz wrote, " .

Among other reasons for his voice against funding for Ukraine, Voltz called the absence of a strategy in Biden's administration. He criticized the White House for slow and untimely support for Ukraine, as well as for insufficient sanctions against the energy sector of Russia. "If Putin succeeds in Ukraine, he will not stop until it attracts NATO country . . . Stop Russia before it is involved in NATO and the US in the war is the right thing," Voltz wrote.

But: "But this burden cannot only lie on the shoulders of the American people, especially when Western Europe suits. Between Baiden's strategy" as much as needed "and those who require" no dollar for Ukraine "should be political space. " In general, the thesis that Europe (especially Germany and France) is not enough to support Ukraine and the United States to require more from these countries, it is a red thread in almost all Voltz's comments about Ukraine.

On the other hand, Mike Voltz spoke against Ukraine's accession to NATO. In one of the broadcasts, he said that it would have been involved in the war with Russia, and that Ukraine is now unable to contribute to the collective security of the Allies. As for other comments, the Voltz also raised the question of how the weapon provided to Ukraine is being supervised, whether it falls after crossing the border into the black market.
