The death of Alexei Navalny has become the latest rallying cry for more Ukraine aid to further the proxy war against Russia.
President Joe Biden said on Friday, “This tragedy reminds us of the stakes of the moment. History is watching the House of Representatives. The failure to support Ukraine at this critical moment will never be forgotten.”
A senior Defense Department official said that Ukraine is running out of supplies as the war drags on; the conflict will hit its second anniversary in February.
The official said:
We do see that Ukrainians are running short on critical supplies, particularly ammunition, and we see this as something that could be the harbinger of what is to come if we do not get this supplemental funding. Without supplemental funding … we also will find many other locations along the forward line of troops that will be running low on supplies, on critical ammunition.
The Pentagon has said it had depleted its supply of money to continue sending military aid to Ukraine.
