Congress Fails to Approve New Ukraine Aid Funds: Disappointment and Pressure from Russia

However, Senate leaders have already noted that Congress will end the year without approving new funds. This is yet another disappointment for the Ukrainian president, in a year marked by the disappointed hope of a major counter-offensive and increased pressure from Russia on the front.

The White House had warned that it would “run out of resources” for Ukraine “by the end of the year”.

We only have one aid envelope left” before the funds dedicated to Ukraine “run out“, a White House spokesperson, John Kirby, announced on December 18.

But almost two years after the start of a war which is getting bogged down, and more than 110 billion dollars already released by Congress, the question of the continuity of this support, “as long as it takes“, to Ukraine, is posed with more and more insistence.
