    Yeah, but according to the other commenter Ukraine “doesn’t need it” and he doesn’t want Ukraine to be reliant on the US.

    So… they both do and don’t need aid from the US? Lol.

      It’s not that hard. They don’t need aid to continue to fight, but they do need aid to be able to win.

      I see what you’re trying to say and I agree but this isn’t the right echo chamber to be talking like that.
