    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that his country “will lose the war” against Russia if Congress does not act to send it more aid, Agence France-Presse reported.

    For months, House Republicans have stalled on a bill containing $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, stipulating that it should also include increased funding for security at the US southern border.

    Experts told BI in February, when the bill initially passed in the Senate, that slow-walking the deal in the House would potentially cost Ukraine the war.

    “If American aid disappears, the prospects of a Kremlin victory go way up,” John Herbst, senior director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center and a former diplomat, told BI’s Thibault Spirlet at the time.

    Herbst said that continued European support could “conceivably” help Ukraine hold the line, but any faltering in that could result in major Russian gains.

    NATO is seeking to take control of decision-making powers on future aid packages — normally led by the US — in an effort to limit the impact of a potential second Donald Trump presidency on the ongoing conflict.
