The situation in Ukraine is terrible: Pentagon requires Congress to allocate money for weapons

The US Secretary of Defense has stated that the situation on the battlefield is beginning to change in favor of Russia, so it is necessary to provide Ukraine with military assistance as soon as possible. The Pentagon leadership requires Congress funding for Ukraine, declaring a terrible situation on the front and the lack of military weapons that is delayed due to the inability of Congress to approve a funding package for the fighting country.

This was reported by the Associated Press (AP) with reference to the statement by Pentagon leaders to the Committee on Approval of the House of Representatives of the US Congress. "I will just tell you that Ukraine is now faced with terrible conditions on the battlefield," said General Kue Brown, chairman of the Committee on Defense of the House of Representatives. Defense Minister Lloyd Austin, who was sitting next to Brown, told legislators that time was important.

"We already see that the situation on the battlefield begins to change gradually in favor of Russia. We see how they achieve gradual success. We see that Ukrainians have not easy to keep defense," Austin said. According to AR, such gloomy estimates were performed while Republicans in the House of Representatives argue about the external assistance bill in the amount of $ 95 billion, which the Senate approved in February.

This law provides for the financing of Ukraine, Israel and other allies, as well as humanitarian assistance to civilian populations in gas and Ukraine and replenishment of the US Armed Forces to replace weapons sent to Ukraine. Minnesota McColum, a deputy from Minnesota, referring to the Commander -in -Chief of the US Armed Forces in Europe, Christopher Cavoli said that if Congress did not approve funding, Ukraine will be defeated by Russia 10 times faster.

"Without the help of the United States in Ukraine, the ammunition will be literally over, and Russia will kill even more civilians in Ukraine," McKolum said. We will remind, on April 16, Mike Johnson presented four different draft laws on military assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan at a closed meeting of the Republican Party. The fourth bill may relate to the Tick-touca and the arrest of Russian assets.
