Ukrainian forces would have to cede further territory to Russia if US military aid does not arrive soon, President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned, in his latest appeal to Congress to pass a multibillion-dollar package.
President Joe Biden’s administration is struggling to push a $95 billion international aid package – which includes $60 billion for Ukraine – through the House of Representatives more than month since it was passed in the Senate.
Zelensky warned that the lack of aid was urgent, and could endanger Ukraine’s major cities.
“If there is no US support, it means that we have no air defense, no Patriot missiles, no jammers for electronic warfare, no 155-millimeter artillery rounds,” he told The Washington Post during a recent interview published Friday. “It means we will go back, retreat, step by step, in small steps.”
Losing this war is going to get us into a world war.
Everyone knows this. The people who are preventing aid have already chosen their side
Literally siding with Russia against the American people… After all those wars against communism, this is where we wound up.
But Russia isn’t communist so that’s kind of irrelevant. Modern Russia is just a very conservative corrupt dictatorship, just like what Republicans want.
