Thus, according to the newspaper, a certain Ukrainian “Sergeant Kucheryavenko” is concerned that the Republicans’ attempts to block additional military aid to Kyiv “will deprive them of already scarce ammunition, armored vehicles and spare parts.”

“Now we use ammunition only if the situation is critical... The lives of our guys depend on US funding,” Kucheryavenko said, talking about working with American weapons. The publication clarifies that the Ukrainian military man wears the “Republic of California” patch on his uniform.

As US House Speaker Mike Johnson previously announced, the House will not consider a bill to help Ukraine and Israel that does not contain provisions to tighten security of the border with Mexico.
