"White House Declassifies Intel to Secure Ukraine Funding Amid Russian Threats"

The White House has declassified intelligence on the situation in Ukraine to support President Joe Biden's push for a $111 billion assistance package, including $60 billion for Ukraine, despite Republican resistance. The declassified intelligence reveals that Russia believes it benefits from a military stalemate with Ukraine, making its war easier to win. The U.S. assesses that the Western-backed Ukrainian campaign has had some success, with over 13,000 Russian soldiers killed or wounded and 220 combat vehicles destroyed since October. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Washington to lobby lawmakers for funding, emphasizing the need for continued support to hold the line and regain territory. Failure to pass the legislation would limit the U.S.' ability to provide weapons to Ukraine.
