By David Morgan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, a frequent critic of President Joe Biden, said on Tuesday that he is seeing "encouraging" signs from the administration about its approach to deterring further Russian aggression towards Ukraine.

McConnell said Biden now appears to be adopting the right approach to Ukraine following a weekend meeting with his security team at Camp David. McConnell last week said Biden had "telegraphed passivity and weakness" on the issue.

"What I've been hearing since then is encouraging, that they're prepared to take steps before an incursion, not afterwards," McConnell said at a news conference in Frankfort, Kentucky.

"It appears to me the administration is moving in the right direction," he added.

We are going to do more for Ukraine than we will for the USA. That is how it always goes. Politicians have always counted on war to help build their base and build up their economy. They don't care about the human cost in any of this. Just the money and the power. We have people starving in the streets and yet we need to run over to a foreign country and spend massive amounts there instead of here. Wonderful.
