After months of stalling, legislation in the US Congress that would deliver Ukraine nearly $100 billion in military aid is set to be voted on in the House of Reps over the weekend. The Speaker Mike Johnson says he’s pushing forward with the bill despite opposition within his own Republican Party because “we have terrorists and tyrants and terrible leaders around the world like Putin … and they’re watching to see if America will stand up for its allies”. US President Joe Biden is urging members to put aside partisan differences to get the aid bill passed. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly warned his country will “lose the war” if America doesn’t fund more vital military supplies. Just a couple of days ago, 17 people died in the northern city of Chernihiv after a Russian missile attack – Zelensky said it wouldn’t have happened if Western allies had provided “sufficient air defence equipment”.
