Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, said Wednesday that he’s “a little embarrassed” by some in his party who are insisting that reforms to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) be stripped from legislation to aid Ukraine and sanction Russian and Ukrainian officials involved with the unrest in the region.

“Congress has a role, and right now they are not playing it,” Mr. McCain told Fox News. “In my view, [members] are showing a lack of appreciation for what’s going on by placing a priority on an IMF fix which, frankly, is not that big a deal compared with a unified response to what has taken place in Ukraine.”

Language backed by the White House that would shift about $63 billion from an IMF emergency account was included in a sanctions package advanced last week by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but some Republicans, including House Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, have said the IMF reforms shouldn’t be part of a Ukrainian aid package.

Mr. McCain also reiterated his criticism of the Obama administration for the “weakness” of its initial response to Russia’s moving to annex Crimea.....snip~
