Ukraine's Survival at Risk: Putin's Warning and GOP's Demands for Aid
Senate Intelligence Chair Mark Warner stated that Vladimir Putin believes Ukraine will fall within months without renewed US military aid. Warner's assessment came after senators blocked a $175 million aid package. The package proposed by President Joe Biden, which included funds for Ukraine, Israel, and aid for Gaza, was blocked due to various concerns raised by both Republican and Democratic senators. The deadlock in aid could play into Putin's hands as the war in Ukraine reaches a violent stalemate, potentially jeopardizing Ukraine's ability to continue liberating territory and increasing the risk of losing the war.
