It makes sense to support Ukraine now to prevent future crisis – Kuleba

This was stated by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, who spoke in an interview with El Pais, Ukrinform reports.

“If one decides to suspend or withhd support now, because of the lack of resources, Russia will be able to succeed on the battlefield and break through the lines. Providing Ukraine with support will have to be resumed because there will be a very strong public reaction in favor of supporting Ukraine," the head of Ukrainian diplomacy said in response to a question about the Republicans in Congress blocking $61 billion in security assistance to Ukraine.
