US senators demand from Europe to increase support for Ukraine

In a belligerent approach, US senators pressured European allies to immediately support Kyiv. At Tuesday's second meeting of the US Armed Forces Committee, some US lawmakers spoke of the morale of the Russian forces, which have made progress lately despite some setbacks, AAA reported. American lawmakers, including Roger Wicker, a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, have stressed that America's larger European partners, such as Germany and France, must do more. Some Republican senators on the committee, such as Junep Ernst, stressed that we must not let Ukraine fail.
Participants expressed concern about the possible cost of the war, and Angela Stent, director of the Center for Eurasian and East European Studies at Georgetown University, said: Europeans are suffering from the economic consequences of sanctions and the end of Russia's influence on the hydrocarbon sector. She added: If the war in Ukraine continues this year, public opinion may oppose Kyiv's economic support.
The U.S. has so far given about $77.5 billion to help Ukraine, but that number is small compared to smaller countries like Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and then Poland, which borders Ukraine directly, with the U.S. in fifth place. European partners occupy lower positions. The geographic proximity of the conflict to European countries was also one of the important points raised by Keith Kellogg, a retired US Army general.
He warned that Europe must increase its aid and speed up. He said: "The war is going on in the backyard of the Europeans, and they cannot expect American citizens to continue to bear the enormous financial burden of this war."
