“The Biden admin is working at warp speed to deliver the critical weapons Ukraine needs.” ~ @senschumer 🇺🇦👏💙💛🙏🇺🇸

#Repost zelenskyy_official with @use.repost . . . I had phone conversations with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson @speakermjohnson, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell @leadermcconnell, and Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer @senschumer.

I thanked them for the true bipartisan support and personal leadership in passing the Ukraine aid bill. We are grateful to President Biden and all the American people for their assistance to Ukraine.

I informed my counterparts about the situation on the battlefield, the need to bolster our air defense, particularly with Patriot systems, and the benefits of long-range ATACMS systems.

“[Q]uick passage of US aid to Ukraine by Congress is vital.” ~ Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇸

#Repost zelenskyy_official with @use.repost . . . I spoke with @speakermjohnson and thanked him personally, both parties, the American people, and President Biden for their critical support of Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

I briefed Speaker Johnson on the battlefield situation, specifically the dramatic increase in Russia’s air terror. Last week alone, 190 missiles, 140 «Shahed» drones, and 700 guided aerial bombs were launched at Ukrainian cities and communities. Ukraine’s largest hydroelectric power plant has gone offline.

In this situation, quick passage of US aid to Ukraine by Congress is vital. We recognize that there are differing views in the House of Representatives on how to proceed, but the key is to keep the issue of aid to Ukraine as a unifying factor.

We also discussed the importance of cutting off Russia’s sources of funding for its war as soon as possible and using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine’s benefit. We also rely on the leadership of Congress in this regard.

On February 13, 2024, the U.S. Senate passed a foreign aid bill that includes $60 billion for Ukraine, but it has remained blocked in the House of Representatives for over a month while Russia continues to launch deadly missile attacks against Ukrainian civilians. 🇺🇦🇵🇱💙💛🇺🇸🇺🇦

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson to “take a decision” on unblocking Ukraine aid after Russia struck Odesa on March 13, killing 21 people.

Aid for Ukraine has been stuck in the U.S. Congress since autumn 2023.

The U.S. Senate on Feb. 13 passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill that includes $60 billion for Ukraine, as well as funds for Israel and other allies, but Johnson has so far refused to put it to a vote in the House of Representatives.

Some House Republicans are reportedly working on another version of the bill that would treat the non-military portion of the package as a loan in hopes of winning support from more hesitant lawmakers.

Johnson also considered passing a future Ukraine aid bill with Democratic votes, assuming that Ukraine and Israel aid could be split into two separate bills, according to Politico.

“Look at Odessa! (sic) How many more arguments do you need to take a decision?” Tusk wrote on X on March 16, tagging Johnson.

In the caption for a video @speakerpelosi posted on @instagram on March 13 in which she stressed the urgent need for aid for Ukraine to be approved by the House of Representatives in the U.S. Congress, this is what she stated:

“The fight in Ukraine is a fight for their democracy – and for democracy in the world.

“There is strong, bipartisan support in the House to pass additional aid for Ukraine.

“@speakermjohnson must give us a vote.”

#Repost from a carousel @weareukraine.info with @use.repost . . . On March 11, 2024, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence released the 2024 threat assessment based on the expertise of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

The report highlights the significant impact of Russia’s war against Ukraine, noting the failure of Putin’s objective to dominate Ukraine and instead, uniting the West against Russian aggression. With military setbacks unprecedented since World War II, including approximately 300,000 casualties and extensive military equipment losses, Russia nonetheless is increasing its military production for potential prolonged conflict.

Despite facing such challenges, Russia has seen battlefield advancements since late 2023, benefitting from uncertainties in Western military support. This makes the continuous support of the West vital to counter Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and prevent its further escalation.
