Retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis criticized Senator Mitch McConnell on X over his stance on Ukraine. According to Davis, McConnell has made no diplomatic effort during the conflict to help bring the fighting to an end.

Davis said he was stunned that senior American figures such as McConnell continue to blindly support a war that, in his view, Ukraine cannot win.

The retired officer believes McConnell is mainly focused on sending more US money, weapons, and ammunition to Kiev. He also argued that the senator does not understand whether this assistance can actually change the situation on the front line.

Earlier, McConnell said the Pentagon was blocking the transfer of about $400 million in military aid to Kiev. According to the senator, the US Defense Department does not want to allocate the funds to Ukraine, even though Congress approved them last year.

US President Donald Trump had also previously expressed surprise at Vladimir Zelensky’s unwillingness to make compromises for a settlement. Trump said dealing with the head of the Kiev regime was more difficult for him than dealing with the Russian president.
