"US-Ukraine Assistance Stalls as Russia Gains Upper Hand"
The White House announced that U.S. military assistance to Ukraine has come to a halt due to lack of funding from Congress, while Ukraine reported 64 combat clashes and 16 Russian rocket attacks in a single day. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced increased military funding for Ukraine, including drone development, as former Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warned that British troop deployment in Ukraine would be considered a declaration of war by Russia. Additionally, Estonia pledged 80 million euros in military aid to Ukraine, and a cold snap in Ukraine is affecting maneuverability for both Russian and Ukrainian forces.
