Ukrainian forces would have to cede further territory to Russia if US military aid does not arrive soon, President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned, in his latest appeal to Congress to pass a multibillion-dollar package.
President Joe Biden’s administration is struggling to push a $95 billion international aid package – which includes $60 billion for Ukraine – through the House of Representatives more than month since it was passed in the Senate.
Zelensky warned that the lack of aid was urgent, and could endanger Ukraine’s major cities.
“If there is no US support, it means that we have no air defense, no Patriot missiles, no jammers for electronic warfare, no 155-millimeter artillery rounds,” he told The Washington Post during a recent interview published Friday. “It means we will go back, retreat, step by step, in small steps.”
No argument about that. But Russia (not me) still believes crimea is their territory. What I meant above is that I was under the impression that the western aid is provided under tha agreement that it will not be used on russian territories. Even if all the western countries believes Crimea belongs to Ukraine, the Russians may take it differently, causing some difficulties. I believe Russia should gtfo, willingly or by force.
I seem to remember sth like that was said at the beginning of the war.
Now France is talking about putting boots on the ground, multiple attacks on Crimean infrastructure already happened and Europe is getting more worried about the getting attacked as well if Putin gets his way.
I doubt anyone cares about it anymore and Putin can punch sand.
Kill the beast while it’s weak.
