President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has issued a stark warning, emphasizing the critical need for US military aid to prevent further territorial concessions to Russia. Zelensky's plea to Congress comes amidst delays in passing a $95 billion international aid package, with $60 billion earmarked for Ukraine, which has been stalled in the House of Representatives.
Zelensky highlighted the urgent nature of the situation, expressing concerns that the lack of aid could jeopardize the security of Ukraine's major cities. Without essential support such as air defense systems, Patriot missiles, electronic warfare jammers, and artillery rounds, Ukraine faces the risk of retreating and ceding ground to Russian forces.
