Ukraine News: Germany’s Scholz applauds the US assistance package
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has praised the US House of Representatives’ decision to approve a significant aid package for Ukraine. It was, according to Scholz, a “strong signal in these times.”
The $61 billion (€57 billion) plan, which had been delayed for months by political squabbling, was approved by US senators on Saturday.
The Institute for the Study of War, a US think tank, predicted that Russian troops will likely step up their raids and strikes after the referendum “to exploit the closing window of Ukrainian materiel constraints.”
Military analysts in the West predict a rise in Russian strikes.
After the US House of Representatives authorized greater aid for Ukraine, the US think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW) stated that it anticipates an increase in Russian missile and drone attacks.
The Washington-based research group predicted that “Russian forces will likely intensify ongoing offensive operations and missile and drone strikes in the coming weeks in order to exploit the closing window of Ukrainian materiel constraints.”
It would take several weeks for the new US help to start having an impact on the situation, according to the ISW, and “Ukrainian forces may suffer additional setbacks in the coming weeks while waiting for US security assistance.”
Despite the difficulties faced by Ukrainian forces, who were lacking supplies and ammunition, the ISW stated that Russian forces had only made tactical progress in the previous six months and “remain unlikely to achieve a breakthrough that would collapse the front line.”
German Chancellor: “A strong signal” from the US ratification of the Ukraine package
Olaf Scholz, the chancellor of Germany, praised the US House of Representatives’ decision to approve a significant military and financial aid package for Ukraine on Sunday.
The result of the poll, he said in a post on the social networking site X, which was once Twitter, was “a strong signal in these times.”We stand with the Ukrainians fighting for their free, democratic, and independent country,” Scholz stated.
The $61 billion (€57 billion) plan, which had been delayed for months by political squabbling, was approved by US senators on Saturday.
The law was included in a $95 billion (€89 billion) package of armaments and foreign aid that also included money for Taiwan and Israel.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared that the action will “save thousands and thousands of lives.”
Hardline Republicans opposed the package, arguing that stricter measures should be implemented first to reduce the number of migrants arriving at the southern US border.
