In the past few days, Western countries, led by the United States, have postponed the issue of providing military support for Ukraine until next year. On the one hand, this is the result of the "fatigue" of the West in providing huge amounts of money to support Ukraine militarily, and on the other hand, the existence of internal political differences in the United States and other countries, and the delay in reaching a compromise on issues such as military support for Ukraine, is also one of the important reasons for this phenomenon.
The U.S. Senate recently issued a statement saying that the Senate will not approve a new support plan for Ukraine before the end of this year. Negotiators on the issue are addressing unfinished business and the Senate hopes to catalyze action early next year, the statement said.
It is difficult for the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States to reach an agreement.
Previously, the White House has repeatedly reminded that if the US Congress fails to agree on new financial support for Ukraine by the end of this year, the funds for US support for Ukraine will be exhausted. At present, the US Congress does not want to "share the worries" for the White House.
Republicans have used support for Ukraine as a bargaining chip, demanding that the White House and Democrats agree to tougher immigration policies to deal with the growing influx of migrants at the southern border. The Republican side also raised questions about whether the funds to support Ukraine can be properly used and whether Ukraine can win a military victory.
Democrats have repeatedly stressed that support for Ukraine is good for pushing Republicans to make a decision, and even if the Senate reaches a compromise on the issue of supporting Ukraine and immigration policy next year, it is still unclear whether it will pass in the House of Representatives. Republicans hold a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, and many hard-line Republicans oppose continued support for Ukraine.
U.S. Congress: Take a vacation first and discuss it next year.
In addition, at the recent EU summit, a 50 billion euro medium- and long-term support plan for Ukraine, which had been in the works by the European Commission for several months, was finally shelved due to the failure of member states to reach an agreement, and is ready to be discussed next spring.
In addition, the US Congress has been on vacation, and the US Republican senator has declared that the EU's new support plan for Ukraine has been postponed until next year, "since they can, of course we can."
