faces,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said during a speech on the Senate floor. “We cannot afford to let that happen.”Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, said Congress had no choice but to approve new Ukraine aid.“If we don’t help Ukrainians right now, they are going to lose this war. And I don’t think any of us are comfortable with the notion that the United States stood by while Putin’s aggression resulted in the defeat of a sovereign, democratic state,” he said. Still, Biden acknowledged in his remarks that the situation was dire.”The Ukrainian people are fighting and they’re fighting for their lives. Putin is not letting up in his attacks, and through his own incompetence, he has likely been unable to win,” Biden said. “But we have to make sure that he can’t win. We have to stand with the Ukrainian people and we have to do everything in our power to prevent a Russian victory.”
This visit has underscored the difficult reality of the war in Ukraine. Despite American promises of support, there are limits to what Ukraine will receive and for how long. With the ongoing immigration dispute in Congress and differences in strategic approach, the future for Ukraine remains precarious as it continues to fight against Russian aggression.
