The situation in Ukraine has reached a critical juncture as the country faces the deployment of relatively accurate, recently designed North Korean ballistic missiles by Russian forces, amidst Russian attacks. U.S. support, both military and economic, has been deemed essential for Ukraine's victory and global security, with the difference between victory and defeat hinging on this aid. U.S. Special Representative for Economic Recovery in Ukraine, Penny Pritzker, emphasized the global stakes involved in supporting Ukraine, while the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, highlighted the cruel attacks on civilians. However, the Pentagon has announced that it has no more funds to provide aid to Ukraine, urging 50 allies to continue their support, and there is no clarity on Biden's funding request. The White House National Security Council, through spokesperson John Kirby, has highlighted the next few months as critical for Ukraine, with Ukrainian military commanders having to make tough choices due to uncertainties about future aid deliveries, including air defenses from the U.S. Meanwhile, the U.S. and EU express concerns over the potential increase in North Korean weapon supplies to Russia, noting that NK is not shipping its older equipment. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for immediate action to pass the national security supplemental and defend democracy, warning that inaction would embolden Putin for potential future attacks and that a defeated Ukraine would pose a greater danger to the world, including the U.S. and its allies.
As our allies act to support the Ukrainian people against Putin’s lawless war, the Pentagon can no longer provide aid. Time is of the essence. Congress must put politics aside and do the right thing for Ukraine and the world. https://t.co/VF8wqBt6Om
Russia’s supplies are replenishing. Weapons from North Korea are reportedly now making their way to the battlefield. We must answer the call, help our friends in Ukraine, and defend democracy with our national security supplemental. https://t.co/p37X8R51En

Make no mistake: A defeat for Ukraine will make the world a more dangerous place for the U.S. Whatever costs we bear to resist Putin today will be magnified in the future. We must defend democracy. We must answer the call with our national security supplemental.
The war in Ukraine is at a turning point American aid is running out Ukraine’s supplies are running low Russia is replenishing A defeated Ukraine will make the world a more dangerous place for the US & our allies We must answer the call with our national security supplemental
The Pentagon is officially out of money to assist Ukraine against Russia’s brutal invasion. Let’s not forget: this threat to democracy in Ukraine is a threat to democracy everywhere. America needs to lead the way, and Republicans need to join us in passing relief ASAP. https://t.co/f1VflX23TV
This is why funding to Ukraine is so important. Not only do we have a responsibility to help our ally defend itself, but inaction will only further embolden Vladimir Putin for potential future attacks, even on American NATO allies. https://t.co/P97wGnuYRM
U.S. aid for Ukraine has officially run out. What's the status of Biden's funding request? https://t.co/x5FMBJeAFE
Schumer: Whatever costs we bear to resist Putin today will be magnified in the future. We dare not go down that road. We dare not shrink from our obligation to defend democracy in its hour of need. Our friends in Ukraine need our help. So we must answer their call
