• 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.

    Ukraine can’t win without foreign troops on the ground.

    Any additional aid is a sunk cost if you think Ukraine can defend itself or take back lost territory.

    The only reason we send aid to Ukraine is to weaken Russia and strengthen the MIC.

      What’re you basing this on? What’s your warfighting experience?

        You wouldn’t be asking this if I said the same thing about Russia 😬

        Just shows how much you’ve succumbed to propaganda.

          It would be a completely different statement then so my response would likely be different, no shit. I’d still be curious if you were basing your statement on anything or if you were just talking out of your ass.

          I attended SAW for a minute so a good bit more than yours. You’re just saying things on the internet, you don’t have a clue.
