Ukraine will not be left without support: how the United States will help Ukraine, even if the vote fails

Vladimir Zelensky arrived in Washington in order to talk to Congress about the need for military assistance for Ukraine. However, even if American legislators do not make this important decision, Joseph Biden will still have mechanisms to help Kiev.

About this 24 Channels told by political strategist Boris Tizengauzen. He is convinced that the situation with the vote in Congress on aid to Ukraine should not be dramatized.

What kind of backup could there be? option

If Congress fails to vote on Biden's $111 billion relief package before the Christmas recess, that decision will be pushed back to January 2024.

There is such a thing as emergency aid packages that the White House can allocate (without coordination with Congress – Channel 24), Tiesenhausen noted.

In early December, in this way, according to a Reuters report, the United States provided Israel with 14 thousand tank shells. Therefore, Ukraine will not be left without American help.

“The question is not whether (congressmen will vote to help Ukraine – Channel 24) or not. The only question is when this will happen. Both Republicans and Democrats are sure that Ukraine needs help,” the political strategist noted.

Discussions about a large aid package for Ukraine

• In early December, signals began to be heard from the Biden administration that without accepting aid to Ukraine before the end of 2023, the Armed Forces could suffer defeat on the battlefield.
• However, the discussion about accepting assistance from Ukraine rests on the impossibility of finding a compromise on measures to combat illegal migration. Democrats said they were ready to make concessions, and Republicans understood the importance of supporting Ukraine. However, so far the parties have not made any progress in agreements.
• An important argument in favor of providing assistance to Ukraine is the information that almost 90% of the 68 billion dollars allocated by the United States for military assistance to Ukraine , were aimed at the production of new weapons, which is beneficial for the US economy.
