On December 13, local time, the U.S. Senate passed the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) by a vote of 87 to 13, authorizing a record amount of $886 billion. It extends the Ukraine Security Assistance Program through fiscal year 2027 and authorizes a full budget request of $300 million for fiscal year 2024. 
The aid in this bill is not the same as the $106 billion in additional funding that Biden has asked for. The bill still needs to be voted on in the House of Representatives before Biden can sign it into law. Only a handful of Republicans have expressed strong opposition. In the past few days, the US House of Representatives has blocked Biden** from providing $61 billion in military aid to Ukraine, which has become the focus of the world's concern. Previously, Senate Democratic head Chuck Schumer had suggested to House Speaker Johnson that the working hours of both houses of Congress be extended by a week in order to approve additional funding for Ukraine before Christmas. But Johnson did not take it, and the House of Representatives will be on time off. In fact, many lawmakers are strongly urging Congress to resume next week, arguing that it will be even more difficult to postpone negotiations. The White House is extremely dissatisfied with Johnson's uncooperative attitude. White House spokesman Jean-Pierre said: "As you heard yesterday say, the American people will not give up on Ukraine in the struggle for freedom and against it." However, Speaker Johnson said that the House of Representatives will leave tomorrow without repairing the borders, without funding Israel, without funding Ukraine. "House Republicans shouldn't go home for the holidays because important work needs to be done for the security of America and the world at this time," she concluded angrily. "I have to say that the behavior of some Republicans on the Ukraine issue this time is really crazy. Because they are not against aiding Ukraine, but against kidnapping Ukraine with the border issue. The refusal to postpone the holiday has added a layer of street gangsters to their bodies. If they are really against aiding Ukraine, it is understandable, after all, everyone's philosophy is different – but it is irresponsible to use such a major event of human destiny as a bargaining chip for specific policies. Although U.S. funding has been delayed – and we believe it will not stop – Ukraine will not be affected in the short term, as other countries will soon be able to fill in in time. As soon as Zelensky left the United States and arrived in Norway to participate in the second Ukraine-Nordic summit, Denmark announced $1 billion in aid to Ukraine, including tanks, drones, ammunition, other military equipment and supplies. 
Denmark has provided $3 billion in aid to Ukraine since the war began. Meanwhile, Norwegian Prime Minister Prime Minister Stolé Storey said at a joint press conference with Zelensky that Norway will provide an additional $800 million to Ukraine on top of the $1 billion in aid in 2023. At the same time, Norway also intends to strengthen the protection of Ukraine's critical infrastructure by providing anti-aircraft equipment and, together with European partners, increase funding for the Ukrainian defense industry to produce more ammunition for the Ukrainian army. Since the outbreak of the largest war since World War II, the five Nordic countries – Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland – have been the staunchest supporters of Ukraine, although these countries are relatively small, but they have not provided less aid to Ukraine than the United States in terms of GDP. 
In addition, in the gap between US aid, other European countries have also said that they will "fill" this gap. Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that Germany would increase its support for Ukraine when there was a problem with aid from certain countries. Poland's new Prime Minister Donald Tusk has even more ambitious ambitions, not only to comprehensively repair the friction with Ukraine for more than half a year, but also to urge all democracies to focus their efforts on helping Ukraine win the war. According to the news, Tusk will visit Kyiv in the near future to express his firm support for Ukraine. The Czech Republic has placed a new order of 100,000 artillery shells for Ukraine. In addition, the United States still has about $1 billion in aid to Ukraine that has not been spent, and the White House has announced that these aid will be fully in place by the end of this month. 
This is the high flame of the crowd gathering firewood. The entire Western world knows perfectly well that a defeat in Ukraine means a global war. In order to avoid future wars, sacrifices must be made now. Although there will be all kinds of entanglements and contradictions due to the institutional problems of these countries, and people will feel that they are scattered, when the situation is really serious, they will burst into an astonishing potential, and all those who try to take advantage of the fire because they despise them will regret not doing it in the first place. So, no matter how difficult and bumpy the road is, never doubt that the final victory must belong to the side of justice. 100 help plan
