Lefties proactively (sometimes even get paid with Moscow's bloody money directly or serve as "useful idiots") oppose help to Ukraine.

It's a bit hard to pigeonhole political beliefs but Russia's policies seem kind of fascist and they seem to be supported mostly by far right and xenophobic types in the west.

Which 'lefties' in congress have been holding up additional aid to Ukraine?

The entire congress itself has been holding back budget actions, including aid to Ukraine this year. The lend lease act has started May 2022, when it was too late to punch back hard. It ended in Q3 2023 without bringing tanks, pcs on time in 2022.

There are no "lefties" in Congress. Here in the UK, there is definitely a community of vocal old-skool commies that I would refer to as "tankies". George Galloway is probably the most notable tankie politician (recently elected to Parliament).

Galloway is famous for his grovelling address to Saddam Hussein: "I salute your [...] indefatigability."

Lefties? It's the usefools on the right wing who oppose it. At least in my country and the US.

There is a loud faction rhetorically on the “Left” that does too, though they don’t have any allies in office; their main role is trying to pull the left electorate away from Biden and the Democrats to third parties in the election, so that Trump and the GOP will win.

I don't see them as right wing really, they act the exact opposite of what they should do. There are no rapid actions performed, every bit is very slow and delayed.
