Regarding the situation in Ukraine, a senior U.S. government official has revealed that there is a risk that Russia will take control of Audi Ivka in the east, where the Russian military is intensifying its attacks. He emphasized that the U.S. Congress needs to urgently pass a budget bill that includes support for Ukraine, noting that the Ukrainian military on the front lines is running low on ammunition.
In Ukraine, the Russian military continues to attack the area around Audiiivka in eastern Donetsk Oblast in an attempt to expand the occupied territory and encircle it.
Regarding this, Kirby, the White House's national security advisor, said at a press conference on the 15th, ``We have received reports from the Ukrainian side that the situation is critical.Russian forces are attacking Ukrainian positions.'' "There is a risk that Audi Iuka may come under Russian control."
``The reason is that the Ukrainian military is running out of shells on the front lines. We are unable to provide the shells needed to stop a Russian attack.'' He stressed the need to pass the budget as soon as possible.
In the U.S. Congress, the Senate passed an emergency budget bill on the 13th that includes aid to Ukraine and Israel, but it is not expected to pass in the House of Representatives, where the opposition party and Republicans have a majority, and it is unclear whether the budget bill will be passed. The situation continues.
