US assistance will strengthen Ukraine's defense but not enough for a fracture of war - Bloomberg

According to the authors of the material, the situation on the front will depend on the rate of supply to the front of American weapons. During the absence of assistance, the Armed Forces had many problems. The new US assistance package for more than $ 60 billion will help to strengthen the effectiveness of defense and will provide a disagreement with Ukrainian defenders, but it is not enough to dramatically change the situation at the front. This is discussed in Bloomberg.

In particular, the publication notes that much will depend on the pace of US assistance to the front. Within six months, the Voting Delay in Congress in the Congress faced a serious shortage of ammunition and live force. In turn, this situation was used by the Russian military.

According to Mykola Beleskov, a researcher at the Kyiv National Institute for Strategic Studies, the US new assistance will allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to rest, slow down the pace of promotion of Russian military, provide better defense and significantly reduce losses. At the same time, additional assistance is needed to promote more active promotion of the Ukrainian army. And the prospect of obtaining it is a problematic issue, taking into account the resistance of Republicans in Congress.

"The question is whether there will be help and to what extent in 2025, as Putin's strategy is to wait," Belleskov said. At the same time, the source of the publication stressed that this week Germany intends to increase pressure on partners in Europe, in particular on France and Italy, with respect to further supply of Ukraine's air defense and components to Ukraine. On April 20, the United States Congress was approved by a law on assistance to Ukraine of more than $ 60 billion.

At the same time, this document must still be approved in the Senate, after which it must be signed by the head of the White House Joe Biden. In the process of consideration of the bill, all edits were rejected, in particular from the Congressman Victoria Spartz and Margor Taylor Green-the latter opposed any assistance to Ukraine. At the same time, the leader of the majority in the US Senate Chuck Sumer said that the Senate would vote for the help of Ukraine on April 23.
