Some Republicans were outraged at U.S. money being spent to pay the salaries of 57,000 first responders in Ukraine.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk wrote:"Pretty sure there are some American farmers, small businesses, and border patrol agents that could use that money. Or better yet, let's not spend money we don't have! Not one more dime."
Some questioned why members of Congress were not already aware of how U.S. money was being spent in Ukraine.to tell you what the money that is not paid to U.S. defense contractors for weapons is being used for?" one person wrote in reply to Boebert."You know you are a Congressional representative right? Nice self own."
During a visit to Kyiv in July, Power said:"USAID invests in [the State Emergency Service of Ukraine] and we think it is one of the wisest investments that we can make on behalf of Ukrainian people but also on behalf of the American people. "Around $1.2 billion of Direct Budget Support disbursed to the Government of Ukraine has gone toward reimbursing the salaries of more than 57,000 first responders, including many who responded to the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam."
USAID and the White House have been contacted for comment via email. Boebert and Greene have also been contacted for comment.
