Ukraine

These headlines are bullshit, all the urging needs to be made to Republican members of Congress, aid for Ukraine is a no brainier for the President and Democratic members of Congress, this phrasing makes it seem like there's a real discussion being held, and not a hold up by Republicans, and it's infuriating

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Washington — With additional funding for Ukraine caught up in U.S. politics, some Americans who were wounded fighting alongside Ukraine's forces as they battle to fend off Russia's invasion visited Capitol Hill on Wednesday and Thursday, along with family members of others who were killed in action, to urge lawmakers to approve more money for Kyiv.

Adam, part of a delegation organized by the R. T. Weatherman Foundation, spoke with congressional staffers to share his first-hand account of the war, and he stressed the urgency for more U.S. military aid to reach Ukraine's forces, in particular conventional artillery shells, which are quickly running out.

Adam told CBS News he felt called to serve on the Ukrainian front lines after Russia launched its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.

"We can't hold foreign aid hostage just because some senators or congressmen are trying to push for increased border policies," Adam told CBS News.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told ABC News this week that "time is running out" for U.S. lawmakers to clear the new funding.

Mr. Biden warned weeks ago that the U.S. government's allotted money for Ukraine would run out at the end of the year, and he said if the new funding wasn't approved, it would be the "greatest Christmas gift" for Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
