The Pentagon: Without US help, Ukraine will have to choose which cities to hold

Without US aid being sent to Ukraine, the Ukrainian armed forces will have to choose which cities they can keep under their control. This was stated by the deputy representative of the Pentagon, Sabrina Singh. During the briefing, she repeatedly stressed that Congress must urgently approve the allocation of funds to Ukraine.
"We will not be able to provide this critical military aid, and Ukraine will have to make choices and decisions about which cities, which settlements they are able to hold with what they have and with what partners continue to sent to them," Ms. Singh said during the briefing.
On February 13, the US Senate supported a bill to provide more than $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Within the framework of the bill, Kyiv will receive over 60 billion dollars. 70 of the 100 members of the upper house of Congress voted for the document, which took almost four months to agree. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would not bring the bill to a vote without measures to strengthen security on the southern border.
On February 17, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Sirsky, announced the withdrawal of troops from Avdiivka "in the name of protecting the lives and health of servicemen." Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would not have had to leave the city if the Ukrainian army had received ammunition from the US in time./BGNES
