Bacon clearly stated in a post on the social media platform X that 70% of Americans support Ukraine and deemed the continuation of such deals as "unethical."
Criticism of Financial Support for War
Bacon continued, "Supporting Putin's war economy is unethical, as he uses this money to bomb cities." This Republican representative emphasized the negative consequences of this deal, pointing to the urgent need to support Ukraine and prevent the financial strengthening of Russia.
