On December 13, the U.S. Senate voted 87-13 to pass a new version of the National Defense Authorization Act. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke on the Senate floor ahead of the bill, praising the new National Defense Authorization Act, which he said "recognizes the need to strengthen America's position in strategic competition with competitors through targeted improvements in key capabilities, including long-range firepower and antiship capabilities and the Triad of nuclear modernization." It would authorize further investment in the defense industrial base and strengthen the efficiency and accountability of aid to Ukraine, weakening Russia's military power in Ukraine. It will strengthen cooperation with Israel on future missile defense technology and ensure that our closest allies in the Middle East have access to the U.S. capabilities they need, when they need them. ”
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor after passing the bill on the evening of the 13th, "We will provide more resources to the Department of Defense to deploy and develop artificial intelligence, guard against foreign cyber threats, and increase transparency about unidentified areal phenomena," he said. Following the passage of the Senate, on December 14, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress passed the huge annual defense spending bill of the United States, approving the $886 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) worth $886 billion by a vote of 310 to 118, which will be signed into law by Biden. The bill sets policy and spending priorities for the U.S. Department of Defense in 2024, an increase of $28 billion, or about 3 percent, from last year's spending bill. 
Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, told ** that "the National Defense Authorization Act is one of the most important bills that Congress considers.""Each year, the passage of this bill sends an important signal to the men and women of the military who defend our freedoms that Congress has a role to play and will prioritize their needs. Most importantly, the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act has never been more important than it is today. He mentioned the various global strategic threats facing the United States. Rogers emphasized that the budget includes a large proportion of foreign aid programs. The bill authorizes a 5.5 pay rise for Americans2% to extend the Ukraine Security Assistance Program through 2027 and fund security cooperation between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. In the future, US foreign military assistance will be based on this bill and the amount of the budget.
The $106 billion*** supplementary plan proposed by the White House is currently being requested for discussion and negotiation in the House of Representatives, which includes $60 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine and nearly $14 billion to help Israel deal with the conflict with Hamas. There is no doubt that after the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act, the discussion of foreign aid programs will go into legal process in the House of Representatives. 
There is no doubt about the future of U.S. aid to Ukraine, but what is uncertain is the amount of aid and the procedures for its implementation. At present, the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine has entered the cold winter, and Russia and Ukraine are braving severe cold and heavy snow to attack in both directions. The strategic stalemate is just an expression of inseparability, not the real strategic intention of both sides, which is that both Russia and Ukraine are attacking according to their own plans, and they have not been slightly alleviated by the arrival of winter. The strategic impact of the Israeli-Kazakhstan war has made it impossible for Russia and Ukraine to slack off on the battlefield to any extent. As far as Russia is concerned, it is necessary to take advantage of the fleeting strategic window brought about by the Israeli-Kazakhstan war to go all out to attack, and strive to make significant progress on the battlefield before March next year, so as to win the best help for Putin. For Ukraine, it is necessary to gain a strategic advantage on the battlefield and obtain military and financial assistance from Europe and the United States more smoothly before the first season of Europe and the United States is in full swing. The main problem facing Ukraine is whether European and American aid can be delivered in a timely manner. On December 7, Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenskyy expressed grave concern about the delay in US aid in an exclusive interview with BBC Channel One's Sunday political current affairs program, "Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg." 
Olena Zelensky said that the slowdown in aid is "fatally dangerous" for Ukrainian representatives. "We really need help, and in simple words, we can't get tired of this because if we get tired of it, we're going to die," she said. If the world gets tired of it, they will let us die". Olena Zelensky went on to say that "it hurts us a lot to see the signs that the enthusiastic willingness to help may fade, and it hurts us to see this, and it's a matter of our lives." In fact, there are many objective factors for the slowdown of European and American aid, and in addition to the first season, the rapid changes in the global strategic pattern have forced European and American countries to adjust their strategic orientation and revise the connotation of their strategies. In the Indo-Pacific, South America and even Africa, the Israeli-Ukrainian war is triggering a number of war crises, and it is impossible for Europe and the United States to look at the Russian-Ukrainian war from the strategic perspective before the Kazakh war, but the outcome of the Russian-Ukrainian war is related to the future development trend and overall pattern of the world. 
From the strategic perspective of Europe and the United States, the strategic weight of the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield is declining significantly, but it is impossible for Europe and the United States to give up their support for Ukraine, because the fixed star of global strategy is in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, and the chaotic Middle East is just a strategic lever, which can bring global chaos and more war, but it is the final outcome of the Russian-Ukrainian war that determines everything. As far as the global situation is concerned, this winter is too cold to be expected for next year. 100 help plan
