The White House says Ukraine will exhaust some air defense and artillery capabilities in the coming weeks.
The White House said that if Congress does not provide additional aid to Ukraine , Russia could win the war in a matter of weeks – months at best.
According to NBC News , Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan and intelligence director Avril Haines said this at a meeting with congressional leaders on Wednesday.
They noted that Ukraine will exhaust certain air defense and artillery capabilities “in the coming weeks.” Sullivan also emphasized that Ukraine’s situation will become even more difficult over the course of the year, and named specific date ranges when Ukraine will exhaust various options in the short term.
According to the channel’s sources, White House officials are “increasingly alarmed by the prospect that Biden will not be able to fulfill his promise to be close to Kyiv as much as necessary.”
White House officials also told congressmen that the lack of aid to Ukraine “could prompt other countries that rely on the United States, including Japan and South Korea, to rethink their alliances.”
“A bipartisan group of congressional leaders meeting agreed that aid to Ukraine is a national security priority, but acknowledged that there were disagreements on how to proceed legislatively,” the article said.

OMG! 😭
America’s Arsenal of Democracy has grown quite weak, thanks to the maga morons in Congress.
The president doesn’t need congress to send surplus weapons and ammo to Ukraine. Besides that, if the White House decided to follow the constitution, they would enforce restrictions on foreigners pouring over the border and this issue would be moot.
Agreed! Both sides are worse than children fighting over a toy.
“if the White House decided to follow the constitution”
The U.S. Constitution says that it’s up to Congress to pass laws. But Congress has failed to pass laws to address this problem, and instead expects the President to address it by executive action.
President Biden has been willing to negotiate with Congress in order to get aid to Ukraine, and President Biden, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, and committee heads have all reached an agreement on moving forward. But “MAGA Mike” Johnson is blocking any possibility of aid for Ukraine because trumputler wants to keep the US border as an issue to help his chances in the 2024 election.
They can send surplus weapons, not ammo.
There are no surplus 155mm shells or Patriot missiles.
