WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s top aides bluntly told lawmakers in a private meeting on Wednesday that if Congress fails to authorize additional military aid for Ukraine in the coming days, Russia could win the war in a matter of weeks — months at best, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan and the Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told the lawmakers that Ukraine will run out of certain air defense and artillery capabilities in the coming weeks, according to the people familiar with the meeting.
The grim assessment, which one White House official described as “incredibly stark,” was delivered as the future of Ukraine aid has never been more uncertain. It also comes as White House officials are increasingly alarmed at the prospect of Biden failing to follow through with his promise that the U.S. will be there for Kyiv “as long as it takes.”
In Wednesday’s meeting at the White House, Sullivan and Haines gave the top congressional leaders a classified time frame for when Ukraine’s key military resources will be significantly depleted, and a detailed assessment of the current dynamics on the battlefield, the two people familiar with the meeting said.

War is Grimm. It needs to be.
Joe Biden is a gangster. If Ukraine dies. Then Ukraine dies.
“Nearly a year since the start of the war, the U.S. Congress has allocated $113 billion toward supporting Ukraine.”

Over one hundred billion dollars. How is more cash going to win a war?
Then perhaps it is time to de-rail the American Taxpayer Gravy Train and sue for peace with Russia.
There is an Existential Threat to money laundering for the Uniparty politicians from Joe Biden to Lindsey Graham.
Am I supposed to care?
That’s okay. I hear tell from some threads here that even if the US cops out and stops, the EU is going to pick up the slack with money and support for Ukraine. /s
BTW, those ‘months, if not weeks’ is very likely correct. UKR as a cause for Biden to distract from his total incompetence on the Border, the US Economy and other leftist schemes will hit its “use by” date come this November. Watch for it.
Are these people stupid or just evil...what was the plan for this whole adventure? Can hubris be so great that you did not see that Russia is a big country with resources? what is the aim here?
...more money and bodies down a black hole to achieve what exactly?...they need to start planning for a ceasefire and a solution like north and south Korea...or it is going to lead to the gradual creep of Russian advance till Ukraine military and country collapse...this is a completely failed operation.
....and...?????
So the F WHAT.
Pedobiden should worry more about Americans that everyone else.
So “more aid” makes it all better then? Grim is the result no matter what.
The only things these corruptocrats have a grim assessment of is their cash flow from skimming off arms and aid shipments if the war ends.
Gaslighting.
We could care less.
You know, the greedy Biden Crime Family is salivating for a piece of the action.
“Months, if not weeks.”
Agree, as it looks like the Liberation of Avdiivka has now begun. That’s pretty much their last really fortified position.
Exactly!
The evil bastards couldn’t care less about all the death and ruined lives.
None of these people cares what happens to Ukraine.
They just want to blame Republicans for the fall.
Time to make peace.
Mmmmmmm......Biden’s top aides read off Zelensky’s sob story script quite well......(yawn).....
......”if Congress fails to authorize additional tax dollars in military aid for Ukraine in the coming days, Russia could win the war in a matter of weeks — months at best”........
Zelensky is such a despicable con artist......he thinks we believe his corrupt nonsense.
He will prolong this make-believe “war” just to put money in his pocket.....
so his spendthrift wife can go on her long-delayed shopping trip to Paris.
Don’t care.
I hope both sides lose.
L
,elensky can stand in line with all the welgare folks.
Blah Blah Blah, I thought Ukraine was beating Russia at everything and Russia was going to collapse at any minute. That was all the MSM propaganda.
The truth is we should have NEVER gotten involved and hope both sides just lose.
