Indian-American multimillionaire, Vivek Ramaswamy, a former biotech executive and a Republican presidential hopeful for the 2024 election, criticized US military aid to Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Vivek Ramaswamy, the youngest Republican presidential candidate, continues to strongly criticize the US government over its support and assistance to Ukraine and has castigated it as "disastrous".
During the first GOP primary debate held on Wednesday at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Ramaswamy strongly suggested that it would have been more beneficial to allocate those resources to secure "our own borders", rather than to Ukraine.
In response to a question posed by Brett Baier, the Fox News moderator, Ramaswamy firmly stated that he would not endorse any increase in aid for the war-torn nation if elected as President.

"I reject the consensus that “winning” in Ukraine is a vital U.S. interest. Nearly the entire GOP field rails against Biden, but cut through the grandstanding & it turns out they’re solidly with him on the most important foreign policy issue of our time. America First 2.0," he wrote on X (previously known as Twitter).

Ramaswamy was among the eight Republican presidential hopefuls who were part of the first primary debate of the 2024 campaign.
He pointed to other candidates who visited Ukraine, and claimed that they wouldn’t have done the same for residents of “Maui, the southside of Chicago, or Kensington.”
