- 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.
The hard truth is it doesn’t matter how much aid we send, Ukraine is in a losing position. They need more than aid to win and that’s the problem
The war could have ended if we gave Ukraine all the weapons it needed. We just gave them enough, not to win, but rather, not to lose in fear russian escalation (whatever that means). Russia has declared it’s at war with NATO and we’re just pussyfooting around and not taking it seriously.
No it couldn’t have and it’s sad you’re going to go through life thinking otherwise.
Let me say this louder for the people in the back: Ukraine has no chance of winning without foreign troops on the ground.
The most likely best case scenario is a frozen conflict. But Zelensky doesn’t want this because such an outcome would call into question everything he did politically up to now. As for Putin, I’m not sure.
I think there’s a widespread implicit hope among Western policy makers that if they keep propping Ukraine up, and get Ukrainians to hold out long enough, Russia will suffer a sudden internal collapse and be forced to withdraw. That may be, but it seems equally (more?) probable that Ukraine will be the one that suffers a collapse.
Ukrainians want to defend their homes. Zelensky has support to continue fighting off the invasion.
I hope so, they’re in it for the long haul. The Vietnamese basically sacrificed two generations to beat back the US; Ukraine will need a similar level of long term commitment. The recent wobbling over mobilization is not a good sign in this respect.
There are no frozen conflicts with Russia.
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.
Nah, its the sucking Russia off that makes you a Tankie
Well, it is either sending Ukraine some weapons, or WW3.
I’d go with the former.
No it’s not and I feel sorry for you if you believe that without any doubt.
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.
