Republicans Are on the Verge of Delivering Putin a Big Christmas Gift
If the impasse isn’t resolved by the end of next week, the Ukrainian army could run out of ammunition.
In a tense game of chicken, remarkable for its mix of petulance and audacity, congressional Republicans are threatening to halt U.S. aid to Ukraine—guaranteeing a Russian breakthrough and possible victory in that war—unless Democrats help pass a bill that all but locks down America’s Southern border.
If the impasse isn’t resolved by the end of next week, when Congress goes on recess until the new year, the Ukrainian army could run out of ammunition. President Joe Biden could resupply the arsenal from U.S. stockpiles without legislative approval, but the move would be temporary, and the signal sent—that Ukraine, and by implication other allies, can no longer count on U.S. support in a pinch—could be a holiday cork-popper for Russian President Vladimir Putin and all of our other adversaries.

Where is EU with their funding? Surely the threat of having a neighboring nation would sway into helping more right? Right?
The EU is sending a lot of support to Ukraine, but they're not the military bullies we are.
The eu do not have the huge stockpiles of weapons and ammo that the US have. While they have promised aid for ukraine. That often needs to be built in factories first.
The EU (and it's member states) have sent almost double the amount of funding the US has.
