However, Republican opposition
comes amid a debate over funding
as the government faces a looming shutdown.
.
A growing number of Conservatives have questioned
the billions of dollars already spent on military,
economic and humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
Reuters reports that the U.S. has already sent
approximately $113 billion in aid since
the invasion began in February 2022.
The Biden administration has claimed that
if Russia is allowed to take control of Ukraine,
the cost to the U.S. will be much higher.
However, Republicans are not convinced,
with Senator J.D.
Vance stating that the U.S. , "is being asked to fund an indefinite conflict
with unlimited resources.
Enough is enough.".

from @CNN for a debate on June 27th.
Over to you, Donald. As you said:

Well, make my day, pal, I’ll even do it
twice. So let’s pick the dates, Donald –
I hear you’re free on Wednesdays, President Joe Biden, via video message.
Trump took to Truth Social to respond.
I am Ready and Willing to Debate

According to Biden campaign chair
Jen O'Malley Dillion, those dates are

Trump went on to say that he'd like
to debate Biden more than twice.
I would strongly recommend more
than two debates and, for excitement
purposes, a very large venue, although
Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds - , Donald Trump, via Truth Social.
That’s only because he doesn’t get
them. Just tell me when, I’ll be
there. 'Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!', Donald Trump, via Truth Social.

Ukrainian officials press Biden to lift the ban on using U.S. arms against Russia, citing hindrance in targeting Russian forces near Kharkiv. Russian incursion sees tens of thousands of troops moving in, outmatching stretched Ukrainian forces. Despite observing Russian buildup, Ukraine couldn't strike due to U.S. policy. Officials meet U.S. lawmakers to seek support.

‘New York Times’ Poll , Indicates Trouble for Biden.
Donald Trump was found to be "leading in
five out of six swing states," 'The Hill' reports. .
Wisconsin is the only swing
state where Biden is leading.
In 2020, Biden won all six swing states.
The May 13 poll also indicated that support for Biden is dwindling among young voters,
as well as Black and Hispanic voters.
What’s so impressive about this is
polls have historically underestimated
Trump’s support, not overestimated
Trump’s support, Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.

with nearly 100,000 people
showing up in Arctic blue New

public polls is inconsistency. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These results need to be weighed against
the 30-plus polls that show Biden up and
gaining — which is exactly why drawing
broad conclusions about the race based
on results from one poll is a mistake. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
The reality is that many voters are not paying
close attention to the election and have not
started making up their minds — a dynamic
also reflected in today’s poll. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.

As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, a new tactical emblem has been observed on Russian military equipment near Kharkiv. This symbol, characterised by a central square with two overlapping diagonal crosses, indicates a significant escalation in Russia's military operations, particularly in the Kharkiv Region. According to reports from OSINT Defender, this emblem is linked to Russia's renewed border offensive in northeast Ukraine, with Russian forces actively attempting to breach Ukrainian defences, notably around Vovchansk. These symbols serve as identification friend or foe (IFF) measures in conflict zones, aiming to prevent friendly fire. Notably, the 'Z' marking, prominent during the 2022 Ukraine invasion, became a symbol of Russian support for the war effort.
