Zelensky Says Ukraine ‘Will Lose the War’ if US Doesn’t Approve More Aid. The president of Ukraine made the remarks on April 7 during a video meeting with UNITED24, a Ukrainian fundraising group, CNN reports. "It’s important to specifically address the Congress: if the Congress doesn’t help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war." "If Ukraine loses this war, other countries will be attacked. This is a fact.", Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine, via video meeting with UNITED24. Zelensky's statement comes as Congress has failed to pass an aid package for the war-torn nation in months, CNN reports. A $95.3 billion foreign aid bill, which contained aid for both Ukraine and Israel, was passed by the Senate in February, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has not yet held a vote on it. According to Franz-Stefan Gady of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Ukraine has entered a "transitional phase" of the war. "Russia is conducting probing attacks along the front line. It is trying to advance where it can. And it is preparing what seems to be a future offensive down the road.", International Institute for Strategic Studies, to CNN. "This year, Ukraine really needs U.S. support. There’s certain weapons systems, certain logistical support which the European countries simply cannot provide to Ukraine.", Franz-Stefan Gady, an associate fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, to CNN.
