Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that Kyiv will lose the war against Russia if the US Congress does not approve military aid to battle Moscow's invasion.

Republicans in Congress have been blocking tens of billions of dollars in military assistance for Kyiv for months. 

“It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” Zelensky said during a video meeting of the Kyiv-organized fundraising platform United24. 

Zelensky said it would be “difficult” for Ukraine to “stay” without the aid. 

He said that “if Ukraine loses the war, other states will be attacked.” 

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has dragged on for more than two years.

Kyiv said Sunday that a Russian strike on the town of Huliaipole in the northeastern part of Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region killed three people. 

“Two men and a woman died under the rubble of their own private house, which was hit by a Russian shell,” the head of the region, Ivan Fedorov, said on social media. 

Officials said another civilian, a woman, was killed in the city of Kupiansk, in the northeastern Kharkiv region that has seen increased attacks in recent months. 

“A woman died under the rubble in an apartment on the fourth floor of a high-rise building,” Ukraine's state emergency services said, adding that it was a residential building. 

Officials in Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, said Russia launched another attack on Sunday, wounding five civilians, a day after a previous deadly attack there.

JOHN DIRECTLY BELOW IS A SHAMELESS BUTT IGNORANT IDIOT

John the loon from Canada, if that is actually you who posted for once a succinct thought of idiocy, which I doubt it was you because you can't stop speaking in the narcissistic first person, well, you are a shameless dumb fuck whoever posted the thought of idiocy directly below. Go to Fox News and look up the latest Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. On today's show she had Ohio Senator J.D. Vance on. Senator Vance clearly stated he is pro-Ukraine with the $61 billion in funding, only Joe BRIBEn must first secure the border. Are you too stupid to understand governance? Apparently so.

JOE BRIBEN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AID NOT GETTING TO UKRAINE
This comment contains spoilers. Click here if you want to read.

I call bullshit. Europe needs to step up and pay their fair share. I believe US aid since February 24, 2022 totals some $47 billion. Europe should have contributed at least 72% of that total to date. Why 72%? That's Europe's percentage of the US annual nominal gross domestic product. By the way, do you believe Ukraine has drawn down $47 billion in US military aid in just some 26 months? If you have any clues what $47 billion constitutes, it takes several years to draw down such a sum.
Even Hank Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives is encouraging Joe BRIBEn to agree to securing the southern US border in order to gain favor by a majority of Republicans in the House to furnish the $61 billion more dollars in aid to Ukraine. It is Joe BRIBEn who is delaying the further aid.

Zelensky should start loudly and publicly asking "West, why have you militarily fooled us?"

@Sasha, My gwad every post you make only further exposes just how vacant you truly are. No one has militarily fooled Ukraine. Europe needs to step up and pay their fair share. But look at Germany. They are now helping the Russians rebuild Mariupol. That's not fooling, that's treasonous.

@SASHA GET A CLUE AS TO THE FACTS OF THE MATTER,

nothing to say about the promised million rounds of ammunition?
nothing to say about "we will be with Ukraine until the end"?
for the German building material in use in Mariupol those Russian beggars are clever in having it delivered not from Germany but from others. sanctions work but they are not weapons of war, the only thing they do is worsen Russian dirty efficiency

The date of this article is 7 April 2024. The U.S. House of Representatives reconvenes on 8 April 2024. Speaker Johnson pledged he would have legislation for Ukraine funding on that day. Please Ukraine - take whatever is offered. If it is in the form of a loan, say "Yes" immediately; conversations about 'how' it is paid back can come later (Russian seized funds, loan 'forgiveness', etc.). If there has to be a carve-out for Israel, so be it. Israel is armed to the teeth, while Ukraine needs weaponry right now. The Americans need to hear just three words from Ukraine - "yes" "quickly" and "NOW!"

@Coach John, Coach John, are you a citizen of the United States? Do you understand the internal politics currently? Joe BRIBEn has allowed over ten million illegal immigrants into the United States. In fact, he has flown 326,000 illegals into Miami Airport just to fuck with Governor Ron DeSantis, without informing the State of Florida he was doing so. Do you understand the Latin phrase: "quid pro quo"? Ukraine will get their $61 billion if Joe BRIBEn secures the border. It is a simple "this for that" situation. So far Joe BRIBEn has refused. Joe BRIBEn is the sole individual fundamentally responsible for the additional $61 billion in aid going towards Ukraine.

@Sasha, You truly are a shameless dumb fuck Sasha. You have not a clue the Republicans support Russia, however Joe BRIBEn has allowed an invasion of over ten million illegals into the US. Joe BRIBEn must first stop our invasion before Ukraine gets the $61 billion. Dumb fuck.
