• President Zelenskyy warned that Ukraine would lose the war if the US didn’t send it more aid.
  • House Republicans have been stalling on a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine.
  • “It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose,” he said.

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.

“It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” he said, per AFP.

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.

    Yes, it’s a hard truth and those indoctrinated by propaganda refuse to realize it.

    Anyone who acknowledges reality in this situation is a ‘tankie’. That’s how bad the tribalism has gotten among these idiots.

      Well, it is either sending Ukraine some weapons, or WW3.

      I’d go with the former.

          What other option is there?

          Let Ukraine loose its sovereignty? To let them be absorbed into a country they want no part of?

          That would just feed the insatiable hunger of Putin, and they would perform yet an other “military training exercise” in the next country. And then the next until there is nothing left than to attack NATO countries, which brings us back to to my second outcome.

          The only peaceful option can only be chosen by Putin, by just pulling their invasion forces out. Anything we throw at them is self inflicted at this point.
