"U.S. Congress Urged to Pass Aid Bill for Ukraine Amid NATO Membership Debate"

Three American volunteers who fought with Ukrainian forces are urging Congress to pass a bill for more military aid to Ukraine, warning of dire consequences if the funding is not approved. They emphasized the urgent need for artillery, mine detection, technology to combat drones, and ammunition for Ukrainian forces. The ongoing deadlock in Congress over the funding threatens to give Russia a major advantage in the conflict. President Joe Biden's plan to pair policies to curb illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border with $60 billion in wartime aid for Ukraine has faced opposition from Republicans, including former President Donald Trump.
