Eleven House Republicans have backed a measure calling for an immediate halt of US aid to Ukraine.
The measure is backed by Reps. Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
A recent poll found nearly two-thirds of American support continued aid to Ukraine.

A group of House Republicans is calling for an immediate halt of US aid in Ukraine, arguing that such support for the country's defense in the face of Russia's invasion is "inadvertently contributing to civilian casualties."
