The head of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee said on April 3 that there was "overwhelming" support in the United States to continue supplying aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia, despite vocal opposition from a hard-right faction of his own Republican Party. Representative Michael Turner, the Republican chairman of the committee, which serves as the House's main body for overseeing U.S. intelligence organizations, spoke alongside three other Republican congressmen during a brief visit to Kyiv. Turner said that despite some opposition, "overwhelmingly, there is support for continuing aid to Ukraine, so that they can continue to fight against this aggression of Russia."
