US aid to Ukraine has become “hostage” to House Speaker Mike Johnson, “one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s strongest allies”.
To protect itself from attacks by the Russian Armed Forces, Ukraine needs US-assisted air defense capabilities. This was reported by CNN.
The publication noted that American aid to Ukraine was now “hostage” to US House Speaker Mike Johnson, “one of the strongest allies” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The media noted that Kiev has the best air defense in Ukraine, but the state does not have the resources to protect other cities in this way.
Ukraine needs U.S. help, but that aid has yet to arrive as ammunition for its air defense systems runs out, according to Rob Bauer, head of NATO’s military committee.
The report said, “Mike Johnson, a Donald Trump loyalist who praises Putin, is holding 42 million people hostage in Ukraine.”
The publication noted that Ukrainians knew that their lives depended on whether Mike Johnson would submit an additional national security bill to the House.
Let’s remember, on March 21, there were reports in the media that NATO might assume responsibility for providing military aid to Ukraine. According to journalists, discussions were being held at the Alliance headquarters about taking some of the aid provided by the US Department of Defense to Ukraine and transferring it to NATO.
On March 26, the media reported that the $300 million US aid package allocated in March was used in November 2023. Journalists noted that the funds were no longer available.
