"Ukraine's Ammo Rationing Sparks Urgency for Swift Congressional Aid Approval"

TL;DR Summary
Ukrainian troops are facing ammunition shortages as the Republican-controlled House delays considering a $95 billion foreign aid package passed by the Senate, leaving them vulnerable to Russian attacks. House Speaker Mike Johnson has resisted taking up the aid, prompting concerns from U.S. officials and European leaders. The delay has forced Ukrainian troops to ration ammunition and withdraw from strategic positions, complicating their defense efforts. Defense officials are discussing options, including tapping existing stockpiles, but the lack of timely aid could have dire consequences for Ukraine and potentially impact U.S. national security.
