Democrats in both houses of the US Congress are open to the idea of providing aid to Ukraine on a credit basis, as reported by The Hill.

While the concept of offering aid as a loan is not the preferred approach for Democrats, they are still committed to ensuring that Ukraine receives the necessary support. Many Democrats are pushing for the adoption of a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine.

However, some Democrats are willing to consider the strategy proposed by Speaker Johnson to Republican senators, especially if it helps break the impasse on providing assistance to Ukraine.

"Democrats support aid to Ukraine. Call it a loan or whatever, but give them resources. You have to give them aid. If it will be a loan, then it will be help; if it's an aid package with no requirements, it's still aid," stated Homeland Security Committee member Benny Thompson.

Although few members of Congress believe that Ukraine, facing post-war reconstruction, will be able to repay these loans, some see this approach as a way for Republicans to demonstrate to their constituents that they are trying to alleviate the financial burden on American taxpayers.
