The Biden administration is facing increasing frustration over the stalled $60 billion military aid package for Ukraine, with no alternative plan in place. US officials have expressed their discontent with both congressional Republicans and European allies for the delays in funding Ukraine's defense against Russia for more than six months. The aid, crucial for supporting Ukraine's fight, remains tied up in Congress, with officials urging European leaders to use proceeds from blocked Russian assets to assist Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine's battlefield situation has worsened, with the country's air defenses running low and cities like Kharkiv being heavily impacted by Russian attacks. The lack of support has coincided with a more aggressive Russian offensive, putting Ukraine in a precarious position as it seeks more aid from Western partners.
