The uncertain future of Ukraine's war and aid support

Republicans in Congress are blocking new US aid to Ukraine, which could have disastrous consequences for the war-torn country. If the US cannot provide support, Ukraine will have to rely on its European allies, but they may struggle to provide the necessary weapons and resources. Ukraine's President has warned that a defeated Ukraine would empower Russia and weaken Europe. Experts have also cautioned that Russia would take advantage of any breakdown in US support. The war has been one of attrition, with both sides depleting their resources. Ukraine's allies, including the US and NATO, are also facing depleted stockpiles. The clock is ticking for a deal to be made and passed before Congress' holiday recess. Without Western aid, Ukraine's ability to continue fighting is in question.
