If you bothered reading the article before making your vapid comments, then you'd see that the aid that republicans are holding up isn't going to change anything:

The Biden Administration is entirely correct to warn that without further massive U.S. military aid, Ukrainian resistance is likely to collapse this year. But U.S. officials also need to recognize that even if this aid continues, there is no realistic chance of total Ukrainian victory next year, or the year after that. Even if the Ukrainians can build up their forces, Russia can deepen its defenses even more.

It seems your reading comprehension is pretty poor: the article doesn't say that Ukraine can't win ever, regardless.

It says that they can't win a total victory this year or next year, even with further aid.

My reading comprehension is just fine. Anybody with a functioning brain can understand that Ukraine's prospects of winning will only be worse from here on out. Western support is already cracking, and that's the only thing that's been keeping Ukraine afloat this whole time. Meanwhile, the west is already openly admitting that it lacks capacity to continue supplying Ukraine at even current levels while Russian military industry is rapidly expanding. It's incredible that people still can't understand the basic facts of the situation.

Is this a confession that Euromaiden Kyiv depends solely on support from the US government which imply no popular support domestically or internationally, that no defection from Russian military squads occurred contrary to the claim by Pax Americana media, and that Russians did not waste all their resource for the war?
