A U.S. Senate delegation has called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to put to the vote a foreign aid bill with assistance for Ukraine.
The head of the delegation of U.S. senators, Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York, said this in Lviv on Friday, February 23, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
He said that America, Speaker Johnson and the House Republicans should know that without U.S. aid, Ukraine would lose the war. On the other hand, if Ukraine receives this aid, it will win the war, he said.
Schumer noted that if America turns away from Ukraine, it will have consequences for decades and will mean a loss in diplomatic, political, economic and military terms. The senator added that his delegation had been told that if there were more weapons and ammunition in Avdiivka, the result would have been different.
Following the meetings, Schumer said that Ukraine needs air defense systems, remote demining and long-range ammunition, which will be available in a supplemental package that was voted on in the Senate and is awaiting approval by the House of Representatives.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at a meeting with U.S. senators called their visit to Ukraine a serious message from the United States.
The U.S. administration at all levels has consistently called on the House of Representatives to immediately provide aid to Ukraine by passing a foreign aid bill, which the U.S. Senate supported last week.

Would this bill finally force RuSSia to surrender? Will all arms needed be supplied and Ukraine finally be on par with the world’s second army?
I have doubts that such words will impress the bought and paid for russian agent, Mike Johnson. He and his cronies have made filth out of the House and our government. They have made it into an extended arm of the mafia government in muscovy. The righteous politicians in the House, both Republicans and Democrats, must work out another way to get aid to Ukraine. The fascists in the House won’t relent.
At this point, the Biden administration could use other tools to help Ukraine. But, they are also playing dirty politics. What a sorry ass government we have!
