 Ukraine has no plan B for U.S. aid Ukraine has no alternative to U.S. aid in its conflict with Russia and must rely on Washington's support Kiev's foreign minister Dmitry Kuleba has said urging for additional weapons as American lawmakers remain deadlocked over the next arms package. Speaking to CNN, Kuleba argued that Western states have sufficient resources to meet Ukraine's urgent requests for aid saying efforts must be stepped up and expedited. All the West has to do is start believing in itself in its capacity to prevail he said and of course time matters. We cannot sit and wait for endless discussions on this matter so we call on everyone to expedite the decisions that are pending because the West has shown that it is capable of defending democracy. Asked whether Kiev had other options in the event that American largesse does not arrive on time the Ukrainian foreign minister answered in the negative saying his country could only rely on U.S. and allied support we don't have a plan B we are confident in plan A Ukraine will always fight with the resources given to it and what is given to Ukraine is not charity it's an investment in the protection of NATO and in the protection of the prosperity of the American people he said.
