Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that his forces would have to cede further territory to Russia if US military aid does not arrive soon. He has warned of such a scenario in his latest appeal to the US Congress to pass a multibillion-dollar package.

US President Joe Biden’s administration is struggling to push a 95 billion Dollar international aid package – which includes 60 billion Dollars for Ukraine – through the House of Representatives more than a month since it was passed in the Senate.

Zelensky said that aid was urgent, and the lack of it could endanger Ukraine’s major cities.

Much of Ukraine’s east has been under Russian military control since Moscow launched its special operations more than two years ago.
