In a town in eastern Ukraine, Russian flags now fly over Avdivka following the withdrawal of Kyiv's soldiers after months of intense battles. The wait for U.S. artillery support remains as a crucial aid bill destined for Ukrainian assistance has hit a roadblock in the U.S. Congress. Despite Ukrainian President's reassurance of continued support from President Joe Biden during a phone conversation, the urgency for the aid bill's passage is becoming increasingly critical.
President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the importance of U.S. support in halting Russian President Putin's aggressive actions. He underscored the necessity for principled and substantial aid to thwart Putin's intentions. The urgency of the situation was amplified in the discussions with President Biden, with particular attention given to Avdivka's dire circumstances. The ongoing support from the United States was acknowledged as crucial in countering Russian aggression and holding Putin accountable for his actions.
