"Ukraine's Defense Fears Grow Amid U.S. Aid Delays in Russia War"

Ukraine is facing a critical shortage of ammunition and men as Russian attacks intensify and U.S. aid remains stalled in Congress, leaving its army at a breaking point and vulnerable to a potential defeat. With Russia targeting key energy infrastructure and exploiting a shortage of air defense systems, Ukrainian leaders are urgently appealing for support, warning that without new U.S. assistance, they will run out of artillery shells and air defense interceptors, leaving them susceptible to a partial or total defeat. As the possibility of a renewed Russian offensive on Kharkiv looms, Ukraine is scrambling to bolster its defenses and recruit more troops, while also seeking aid from European partners.
