Republicans have been holding new US aid to Ukraine hostage, hoping to secure political wins while Kyiv struggles in an existential fight against Russia. And as time runs out for a deal, the White House, Ukraine, and experts have all been sounding the alarm, arguing that if the well runs dry, Ukraine will lose the war.

The visit will “underscore the United States’ unshakeable commitment to supporting the people of Ukraine,” White House press xecretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Sunday.

The White House will step up its engagement with US lawmakers trying to strike a bipartisan deal that would provide military aid for Ukraine and Israel while tightening US border security, a Democratic senator said yesterday.

The White House plans to reach a bipartisan agreement with US lawmakers, aiming to deliver military assistance to both Ukraine and Israel while bringing changes to border security measures in the country.

The White House says a failure to approve more aid by year's end could have catastrophic consequences for Ukraine and its ability to fight.
