For Ukraine, it is facing the difficulty of having no rice. After almost 2 years of resistance to the Russian invasion, there have been partial victories, but with the current lack of ammunition, it is difficult to attack or even defend.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine withdrew from the strategic city of Avdiivka, Donetsk Oblast, and the United States **Biden met with Ukraine**Zelensky ** last Saturday (17th).Biden directly blamed the loss of Avdiivka on the fact that the U.S. Congress has not yet approved funds for military aid to Ukraine, resulting in a reduction in the rationing of ammunition for the Ukrainian army, and he called on Congress to pass a foreign aid package that includes a package of aid packages for Ukraine as soon as possible.
The US Congress blocked the approval of aid to Ukraine. This is despite the fact that earlier, the US Senate adopted a long-awaited foreign aid package for Ukraine and allies such as Israel and Taiwan. After months of negotiations, horrific battlefield warnings, and political war of words, the plan garnered bipartisan support in the U.S. Senate. But the bill has met with fierce opposition in the U.S. House of Representatives, and Republican resistance threatens to stillbirth.
The bill would provide Kyiv with an additional $60.1 billion, bringing the total U.S. aid to more than $170 billion in the Russia-Ukraine war, and would also provide $14.1 billion for Israel's war against Hamas, and nearly $10 billion in humanitarian aid for civilians in conflict zones, including Palestinians in Gaza, and $48$300 million to support partners in the Indo-Pacific region, including Taiwan.
Despite the promises of Biden, Speaker of the House of Representatives Johnson has pointed out that forcing the House of Representatives to pass a bill on aid to Kyiv will not work. He notedMembers of the House now have other priorities to deal with, namely the completion of the U.S. budget, "which is the current focus of the House."
And just as Ukraine is in dire need of this aid to buy ammunition, the U.S. House of Representatives schedule shows that the House of Representatives will adjourn until February 28, and lawmakers have not been able to vote on aid bills that include support for Ukraine and Israel before the adjournment. This means that during this time, Ukraine has nothing left to do but wait.
Biden admitted to reporters in Delaware that there is no confidence that other Ukrainian towns will not fall, that the Ukrainian people fought bravely and heroically, and now that they are running out of ammunition and food, the United States is staying out of the matter and not providing more aid to Kyiv is absurd and immoral. Watson, a spokesman for the US committee, stressed that the US House of Representatives must approve additional military aid to Ukraine without delay.
Even so, it did not affect the process of approving aid funds for Ukraine, and the House of Representatives took its time.
