Alice Stefanik is a congresswoman from New York, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives.

Alice Stefanik, who chairs the House Republican Conference, has a low level of support for Ukraine, according to the Republicans for Ukraine civic initiative.

In general, she supports providing aid to Ukraine, but is critical of the scale and control over its use.
