In the absence of further support, Ukraine’s situation will only deteriorate. If Washington does not resolve this issue soon, within a couple of months, Kyiv will be powerless on the battlefield.
As of 2024, the United States has officially run out of funds for Ukraine. According to experts, while Congress deliberates on the next steps, Kyiv’s military position will inevitably worsen, likely resulting in an inability to conduct major offensives within a month or two.
For its part, Kyiv claims it has no “Plan B” if it stops receiving funding from the United States.
“We are confident in Plan A,” said the country’s Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, on Wednesday, January 3rd.
It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that what happens on Capitol Hill in the next few weeks may decisively shape the next phase of the Ukrainian conflict.
Senate negotiators are hopeful they can reach an agreement. On Wednesday, Senator Kyrsten Sinema stated that by the beginning of next week, through negotiations, they aim to craft a deal that includes many of the border security measures Republicans insist on, in exchange for funds to support Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
However, the Senate has never been the true obstacle to funding Ukraine. House Speaker Mike Johnson argues that House Republicans should only agree to a deal that includes H.R.2 – an uncompromising immigration bill that embodies the ideal Republican approach to border protection, including many measures Democrats find unacceptable.
Some believe Johnson’s aim is to nullify aid to Ukraine by tying it to US border policy. According to this hypothesis, such a strategy would eliminate the need for a separate vote on allocating funds to Kyiv, against which many House Republicans would likely vote.
While this approach might work with “fiscal conservatives,” it may provoke a negative response from more hawkish members of Johnson’s faction who seek increased funding for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine.
