Massie also said that both sides to the conflict in Ukraine will eventually run out of people if fighting continues. Earlier on Friday, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced that the United States was providing a new weapons package for Ukraine worth $275 million. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday the United States has already delivered many of Ukraine's "top-priority requirements" and much more assistance is on the way. Austin added that he expects a steady flow of US assistance for Ukraine on a weekly basis. Russia has consistently warned against continued arms deliveries to Ukraine by the collective West, saying they would only prolong the conflict but would not change the situation on the ground.

US Congressman Massie Says Opposes Sending More Money to Ukraine Unless It Brings Peace
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Congressman Thomas Massie told Sputnik on Friday that he opposes the US government sending more money to Ukraine unless such assistance achieves peace.
"I told our own speaker - if you want to send $60 billion and the goal is to achieve some kind of peace, I might be compelled to vote for it. But I'm not voting for $60 billion that will then only necessitate another $60 billion," Massie said on the sidelines of the 2024 Libertarian National Convention.
Massie also said that both sides to the conflict in Ukraine will eventually
run out of people if fighting continues.
"I think it's immoral to grind up people in this war on both sides," Massie added.
Earlier on Friday, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken
announced that the United States was providing a new weapons package for Ukraine worth
$275 million. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday the United States has already delivered many of Ukraine's
"top-priority requirements" and much more
assistance is on the way.
Austin added that he expects a steady flow of US assistance for Ukraine on a weekly basis.
Russia has consistently
warned against continued arms deliveries to Ukraine by the collective West, saying they would only prolong the conflict but would not change the situation on the ground.
