"Ukraine War Funding Fight: Urgent Call for Action in Washington"

President Biden is pushing for $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, but a funding fight in Washington has left the administration realizing this may be the last chance for new US military funding before the 2024 presidential election. Lawmakers are hesitant, with some tying Ukraine funding to broader issues like immigration. The possibility of a second Trump administration has added urgency to the situation, as it's believed that Trump would slash support for Ukraine. US and Western officials are concerned about the impact of a drop in US funding on Ukraine's ability to defend itself and the message it sends to other allies. Despite the grim outlook, Ukraine is preparing to bolster its defense and rebuild its forces in anticipation of more fighting in 2025.
