NATO Urges Continued U.S. Aid to Ukraine Amid Republican Opposition

As Ukraine's offensive struggles and winter approaches, the military alliance calls for sustained support while some European states boycott a summit over Russia's participation.

NATO leaders are urging the U.S. to continue its military aid to Ukraine, warning that it would be 'dangerous' to curtail support as the conflict with Russia nears its two-year mark.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reassured NATO leaders of the U.S.'s continued support for Ukraine, despite a proposal for an additional $61.4 billion in emergency aid being stalled in the Republican-led House.
Several European states, including Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, have announced a boycott of an upcoming summit of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe due to the planned attendance of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Ukraine's offensive against Russia has struggled to gain ground, and the country is heading into an uncertain winter with dwindling stockpiles of ammunition and other weapons.
NATO's plans to include Sweden as a full member remain stalled within the alliance, with Turkey and Hungary yet to ratify Sweden's membership.
