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.”

      Biden is also a conservative by other countries’ standards tho. US doesn’t have a left wing party, it’s far right versus right.

      Yes they do actually. They actually want more bombs and money to go to israel. If they gain power, you can bet they would dump dozens of billions as fast as possible into Israel.

      They just want 0 to go to Ukraine so they block it for daddy Putin.
