Editor’s note: This article incorrectly identified Jared Moskowitz as a Republican. He is, in fact, a Democrat. A U.S. lawmaker has mocked Marjorie Taylor Greene by adding an amendment to the Ukraine aid bill requiring that she be appointed "Vladimir Putin’s Special Envoy to the United States Congress." After months of delays and several versions of the aid bill derailed by political infighting, Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled his plan earlier this week to vote on the package as four separate bills on April 20. As is customary in U.S. politics, representatives such as Greene can propose amendmen...

The Russian military has largely replaced its heavy battlefield losses in Ukraine, and at a much faster pace than anticipated, said General Christopher Cavoli, the top U.S. commander in Europe, in a written statement to Congress on April 11. Total estimates of Russia's casualties and equipment losses since the full-scale invasion vary widely. The BBC's Russian service, along with the Russian independent media outlet Mediazona, confirmed the identities of more than 50,000 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine earlier in April. The true death toll is thought to be much higher. According to the Gene...

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warned that Ukraine is at risk of losing the war without American aid in a press conference attended by a Kyiv Independent reporter in Lviv on Feb. 23. Schumer's visit, along with several other Democratic senators, comes at a precarious time for Ukraine. Hold-ups in U.S. assistance continue to put a strain on Ukraine's defense capabilities, contributing to the loss of the key front-line city of Avdiivka, which Schumer acknowledged. After months of bipartisan negotiations, the Senate approved a $95 billion foreign aid bill that allocates $60 billion for...

The White House sent a memo to House Republicans castigating their inaction on aid for Ukraine and assigned a packet of "vacation reading" containing the potential consequences of their unwillingness to bring the aid to a vote, Politico reported on Feb. 21, citing a memo obtained from White House spokesperson Andrew Bates. The White House has continued to criticize House Republicans over their refusal to pass legislation providing aid for Ukraine, which escalated after U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson convened an early recess on Feb. 15 without bringing the aid, passed days before by the Senate...

The U.S. provided a new aid package consisting of equipment to help Ukraine investigate Russian war crimes, the Interior Ministry reported on Feb. 16. Amid an ongoing impasse on $60 billion in funding for Ukraine in Congress, the U.S. has managed to find ways to keep sending smaller deliveries of aid. Pentagon spokesperson General Pat Ryder hinted earlier in February that air defense missiles and other capabilities were still being sent to Ukraine. The new package contained 66 vehicles, 250 drones, nine 3D laser ground scanning devices, and a DNA laboratory, the Interior Ministry said. The equ...

Businessman Elon Musk appeared in a live conversation on X on Feb. 12 along with Republican senators and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, where the participants broadly argued against the passage of $60 billion in U.S. aid for Ukraine. The bill was passed by the Senate early on Feb. 13 and will now go to the Republican-controlled House, where it still faces significant obstacles. Musk gained praise across Ukraine at the beginning of the full-scale invasion for helping the country access the internet through his Starlink network. He then made numerous comments that angered Ukraini...

"Today, we make (Russian President) Vladimir Putin regret the day he questioned America’s resolve. Today, we send a clear bipartisan message of resolve to our allies in NATO," sa...
