The White House: The US sees high risk of Ukraine losing in conflict

Such defeatist sentiments have emerged among officials after Republicans in Congress and the Senate block funding for aid to Ukraine for the next year. Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office Andriy Yermak previously confirmed that Kyiv would lose without Washington’s assistance.

Even President Biden is frustrated by his own helplessness, but he has not been able to influence the situation. The American leader stated, ‘The inability to support Ukraine is just madness. It goes against the interests of the United States. It’s just wrong.’

The last chance is to shift the responsibility for aiding Ukraine onto European countries. However, US allies will have to decide for themselves whether they will assist Kyiv if Congress does not approve the White House’s new request for funds for Ukraine, stated National Security Council representative John Kirby. He pledged that Washington will ‘do what it can,’ albeit in an extremely limited capacity, but ignored questions about a Plan B in case aid is discontinued.
