The new U.S. aid package will reestablish a critical flow of weapons to Ukraine’s military, but the war will hinge greatly on which side can ramp up and sustain its firepower and troop numbers in the months ahead.

My expert brief for @cfr_org: on.cfr.org/3QjuUDp

Will Biden’s commitment to Ukraine help him against Trump in November?

@Alexi McCammond discusses this question with David Ignatius and Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 in the latest Prompt 2024 newsletter: wapo.st/4aVwGTO

.@Ignatius and I discussed the political implications of the Ukraine aid vote with Alexi McCammond. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

.@maxboot makes an important point here. What happens in Gaza doesn't stay in Gaza. But Biden so far has played a critical role in helping to prevent regional war by pressing Netanyahu while not breaking with him. But will it last? washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Having exhausted all the other options, the House finally did the right thing, Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 writes. wapo.st/4b6DIEE

Media: Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸: 'The last US aid bill for #Ukraine was approved in December 2022 when #Democrats still controlled both houses of #Congress . The Joe Biden administration has been requesting another aid package, with growing urgency, since last August. Now, nearly four months…

The House bill calls on the administration to send long-range ATACMS missiles. The US must enable Ukrainian forces to finally knock out the Kerch Strait bridge linking Crimea to Russia — a critical cog in Russia’s war effort and a Putin showcase project. bit.ly/3W5yW62

'The newly authorized U.S. aid package should come just in time—and not a second too soon—to avert a Ukrainian collapse this year,' writes

Ukraine has been short not only of ammo but also of soldiers. Ukraine desperately needs more soldiers to hold the lines and to allow those already at the front to rotate back to the rear. The West can help by sending its trainers to Ukraine. wapo.st/3W7K8PO

While Mike Johnson wasted months struggling to stand up to the GOP's pro-Putin wing, the battlefield situation took an ominous turn for the worse. CIA Director Burns warned Thursday that Ukraine could “lose” the war by the end of the year without US aid. wapo.st/3W7K8PO

The good news is that all is far from lost, despite the shamefully long delay in delivering aid and the resulting loss of Ukrainian lives. The new U.S. aid package should come just in time—and not a second too soon—to avert a Ukrainian collapse this year. wapo.st/3W7K8PO

.@maxboot with the #Ukraine battlefield state of play. House circumvented Trump and MAGA 'just in time to avert Ukraine's defeat.' This should never, never have taken so long. Gift link: wapo.st/49NcMss

The House finally, belatedly approved a $61 billion aid bill for Ukraine. This would seem to vindicate the aphorism (wrongly attributed to Churchill) that America can always be counted on to do the right thing after having exhausted all the alternatives. wapo.st/3W7K8PO

'The U.S. armed forces must begin delivering emergency aid to Ukraine as soon as the Senate endorses the House bill and President Biden signs it, with artillery shells and air defense ammunition the most urgent priorities,' Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 writes. wapo.st/3Js95Od

'The alarms raised by U.S. intelligence agencies — combined with Iran’s attack on Israel — finally spurred Johnson to act on the long-stalled foreign-aid bill,' Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 writes. wapo.st/3w3JoR4
