Well, at the very least, there is a considerable number of people claiming that the war is overblown/manufactured to get the US involved and the hate for Putin in particular is misplaced.

Getting harder for them to say stuff like that as the war goes on, and it wasn't even the strongest position at the start.

Well, Kevin McCarthy has already said that republicans plan to stop funding military aid to Ukraine if they win back the house. Others that take a considerably more favorable Russian stance include MTG, Matt Rosendale, JD Vance, a bunch of Trump administration officials, and of course Trump himself. Liz Cheney has referred to this faction as the “Putin wing” of the Republican Party.
