Blinken warns Ukraine gains in doubt if no US aid. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned on Jan 29 that Ukraine’s gains over two years of fighting were all in doubt without new US funding, as Nato’s chief visited to lobby Congress. Tens of billions of dollars in US aid has been sent to Ukraine since the invasion in February 2022, but Republican lawmakers have grown reluctant to keep supporting Kyiv, saying it lacks a clear end game as the fighting against President Putin’s forces grinds on.
“Without it, simply put, everything that Ukrainians achieved and that we’ve helped them achieve will be in jeopardy,” Mr Blinken told a joint news conference with Mr Stoltenberg. “Absent supplemental, we’re going to be sending a strong and wrong message to all of our adversaries, we are not serious to defense freedom, the defense of democracy,” he said.
“It will simply reinforce for Vladimir Putin that he can somehow outlast Ukraine and outlast us,” he said.
