Ukraine's Battle for Aid: Zelenskiy's 10% Dilemma

Ukraine has received only 10% of U.S. military aid approved earlier this year amid intensified Russian aggression. President Zelenskiy highlights the bureaucratic delays affecting weapon supplies, essential for defending against Russian airstrikes and facing potential winter hardships, despite pledges from NATO countries to assist with air defence systems.

Ukraine's struggle to obtain military support intensifies as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reveals that the nation has only received 10% of the U.S. aid approved earlier this year by Congress.

As Russian forces increase their offensive efforts in the eastern region, Kyiv's defense capabilities are severely outmatched. Officials warn of a challenging winter after long-range Russian strikes destroyed half of Ukraine's power capacity.

A $61 billion aid package was approved, yet weapon deliveries face bureaucratic delays. Despite assurances from NATO countries regarding air defense support, many commitments remain unfulfilled, exacerbating Ukraine's predicament.
