JD Vance is a strong skeptic of foreign aid to Ukraine

In the Senate, Vance has established a reputation for being particularly skeptical of foreign aid, specifically to Ukraine, which has been embroiled in a war with Russia for over two years. He voted against the $95 billion foreign aid supplemental to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific along with several of his Republican colleagues.

He has also introduced legislation to provide better oversight of aid to Ukraine. Ahead of the vote on additional foreign aid this year, Vance remarked, "I served my country honorably, and I saw when I went to Iraq that I had been lied to — that the promises of the foreign policy establishment were a complete joke."
