Continued daily support for Ukraine coupled with unconquerable Ukrainian resilience will turn the possible into the probable, and then the probable into the inevitable, victory for Ukraine in the foreseeable future. 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇸

Ukraine has “a chance at victory” against Russia’s full-scale war if it receives the $61 billion in military aid recently passed by the United States House of Representatives, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with NBC News on April 21.
“I think this support will really strengthen the armed forces, I pray, and we will have a chance at victory if Ukraine really gets the weapons system, which we need so much, which thousands of soldiers need so much,” Zelensky said.
After months of delays and political infighting, the House on April 20 approved a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine. The funds are urgently needed as Russian forces gain ground at the front lines and massive aerial attacks erode Ukraine’s air defense capacity.
The Senate is expected to advance the bill in the coming days, whereupon U.S. President Joe Biden will sign it into law.
Zelensky thanked U.S. legislators for approving the aid bill and urged the U.S. to deliver the weapons as quickly as possible.
“Then we want to help get things as fast as possible so that we get some tangible assistance for the soldiers on the frontline as soon as possible — not in another six months — so that they would be able to move ahead,” Zelensky said.
