"Zelensky's European Support Wanes as Ukraine's Arms Supply Dwindles"

Cracks are starting to show in the West's support for Ukraine as politicians in the US dropped a $6 billion aid package for Kyiv, and pro-Moscow populist Robert Fico won early parliamentary elections in Slovakia, potentially putting another Putin ally at the helm of an EU nation. The waning support comes at a critical juncture in the war as Ukraine tries to make progress in its counteroffensive before winter sets in. Former UK defense secretary Ben Wallace urged Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to increase military support to Ukraine by more than £2 billion, arguing that with extra Western weapons, Kyiv could "end" the battle against Russia and expel the invaders.
