“Events in Ukraine are not someone else’s war”: Kirby suggested what would happen if Putin succeeds

Kirby explained why the United States cannot hesitate to help Ukraine/Collage Channel 24

The United States analyzed Vladimir Putin’s statements at a press conference on December 14 about Russia’s intentions in the war against Ukraine. Therefore, Congress is urged not to delay the decision to allocate assistance, because this is not “someone else’s war.”

The coordinator of the National Security Council stated this in Washington White House John Kirby during a briefing. He explained what would happen if Russia succeeds, reports Channel 24.

“Putin is challenging the international order”

Kirby called on the US Congress not to hesitate in accepting assistance from Ukraine, as Putin’s latest statements regarding his intentions demonstrate that Russia has not abandoned its imperialist plans.

Almost 20 months after the brutal and barbaric invasion began, Putin said today (December 14 – Channel 24) that his aggression in Ukraine will not end, and peace will come only then, I quote, “when our goals are achieved,” Kirby noted.

He hopes this “Putin message” is heard by House Republicans, who have “held critical aid to Ukraine hostage for months.” Kirby stressed that Congress must take into account that Ukrainians are experiencing constant shelling in peaceful cities while members of the House of Representatives leave for the Christmas holiday. Therefore, the White House is calling for a decision to allocate financial assistance to Ukraine now.

“They need our help. And they need it now, and not after Christmas egg liqueur,” – Kirby emphasized.

The White House also added that the events in Ukraine are not someone else’s war, because Putin, with his aggressive actions, is challenging the international order that has been built over the years, the UN Charter , understanding of sovereignty as well as democracy. Kirby stressed that if Putin is successful, “profound consequences for freedom and prosperity” will be felt around the world. This is why the United States cannot stop supporting Ukraine.

Inaction is also action. It is high time we acted to protect our national security interests,” Kirby said.

US Senate postpones Christmas recess

The US Senate has postponed its holiday recess and will continue to work next week. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made this decision in order to hold a vote on aid to Ukraine next week. We are talking about $61 billion in aid.

In addition, Schumer called on Congress to take decisive action, because not only Putin, but the whole world is watching the actions of the United States.< /p>

“Putin wants America to leave Ukraine and thinks he's succeeding – thanks in part to Trump. Here's what Putin just said about American aid to Ukraine: 'The freebie will end someday , and it seems to be ending.” We must act,” Schumer stressed to Republicans.
