The U.S. has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia, with high-ranking officials and legislators emphasizing the critical nature of American aid. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, speaking in Germany, underscored the perilous situation facing Ukraine, stating, "Ukraine's survival is in danger and America's security is at risk." He highlighted the urgency of continuing U.S. security assistance and ensuring the flow of ammunition to Ukraine. Austin also warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin's ambitions extend beyond Ukraine, asserting that "Putin will not stop at Ukraine," posing a broader threat to global security. This sentiment was echoed by Senator Joe Manchin, who cautioned that failing to support Ukraine could result in "the worst atrocity in history." The importance of passing a national security bill to provide aid to Ukraine was stressed, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer urging Speaker Johnson to expedite its approval. The collective stance of the U.S. government and its allies reflects a determination to stand with Ukraine and counter Russian aggression, recognizing the broader implications for international democracy and security.
WATCH: The U.S. must stand with Ukraine & support our allies as they defend against Putin’s unjust war. If we don’t support Ukraine, it will be among the worst atrocities in history that your children & grandchildren will read about.

The longer that the national security bill sits on Speaker Johnson’s desk—the more desperate the situation in Ukraine becomes.
Yes, Joe Manchin, throwing Ukraine under the bus, enabling a full-blown genocide would be the worst atrocity. Biblical both in proportions and in evilness. Generations would pass - but THIS would be remembered. #StandWithUkraine https://t.co/ZDrpd2TSVX

It’s not an exaggeration to say that right now the survival of the Ukrainian people, the fate of American leadership in the world, and the odds of victory for Vladimir Putin depend on whether Speaker Johnson puts the national security bill on the floor to stand up for democracy.

Our support for Ukraine is indispensable as they stave off brutal, relentless attacks. Standing down now would be cowardly, it would empower Putin, and it would give a green light to authoritarian leaders across the globe. With so much at stake, why would we walk away now?
