Republicans want to replace aid to Ukraine with loans

Republicans want economic aid to Ukraine to go not free of charge, as it is now, but as a loan.

According to NBC, representatives of the Republican majority of the House of Representatives and some senators are currently developing such a bill.

Speaker Mike Johnson is said to be among the lobbyists for this initiative. It provides for the transfer of all non-military aid to a credit basis, for which Russian assets confiscated by the US government can serve as collateral.

Officials close to the White House were skeptical of the idea.

They told the paper that "some help is better than no help, but it's not an ideal way to help."

"Asking the country to take on tens of millions of dollars in debt that it cannot afford to repay is a recipe for a significant burden that will harm Ukraine in the long term and may lead to an economic crisis in the future," the source said.

At the same time, the plans are still at a preliminary stage and "far from being fully implemented," three sources familiar with the process told NBC News.

It should be noted that, according to the estimates of American media, 40 to 60 billion dollars of frozen Russian assets are stored in the United States. That is, if the considered model is accepted, then Washington's future economic assistance will be limited to approximately this amount.
