Ukraine's Aid Crisis: Time Running Out as Congress Stalls

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that the United States would be "responsible for Ukraine's defeat" if Congress fails to approve the Biden administration's funding request for the war-torn country. Yellen emphasized the importance of the funding, particularly for Ukraine's general government budget support, as a pre-condition to maintain International Monetary Fund support. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's chief of staff expressed concern that the delay in US aid could jeopardize Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia. Yellen stressed that the funding was crucial not only for Ukraine but also for US allies in Europe supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression.
