American diplomats consider the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine to be really difficult, but they also see the progress that the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine manage to achieve.
The Armed Forces are making progress at the front despite opposition from the Russian army
Journalists asked State Department spokesman Matthew Miller whether the chief of American diplomacy, Anthony Blinken, has any concerns about the current state of affairs on the battlefield in Ukraine, given the uncertainty surrounding Kyiv's future funding.
According to Miller, the situation at the front is difficult, as the Armed Forces of Ukraine soldiers are forced to fight against the Russian invaders, who have had a lot of time to gain a strong foothold.
As for the battlefield, it's a difficult situation. Ukrainian troops are fighting against very strongly fortified Russian troops. We can see that they are making progress. Progress has been difficult, but we've seen them continue to move forward, Matthew Miller emphasized.
According to the department spokesman, the US State Department team is concerned about the uncertainty of the issue of financial assistance for Kyiv.
American diplomats have once again warned that no money will soon be left to support Ukraine.
That is why the Secretary of State is joining the President and other administration representatives in calling on Congress to act as soon as possible, Matthew Miller said.
Why the United States has not yet allocated large-scale aid to Ukraine
Recently, a representative of the US President's administration, Jake Sullivan, called on Congress to support the White House's request for additional funding for Ukraine.
According to him, they will only help the Russian Federation if this decision is not adopted.
Two months ago, Biden's team asked Congress to approve a package of additional aid of $106 billion, which includes more than $61 billion of financing for Ukraine.
However, debate began in the House of Representatives after its new speaker, Mike Johnson, called for splitting aid to Ukraine and Israel.
