CIA Director warns of "historic mistake" if US fails to aid Ukraine
During the hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which focused on the latest intelligence report on global threats, the CIA director painted a troubling picture of the situation in Ukraine. He emphasized that failing to approve the aid package for Ukraine would be a monumental failure.
"We will witness the loss of more Avdiivkas"
The Senate has approved the aid package for Ukraine, and the House of Representatives will likely follow suit. However, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has not yet scheduled a vote for this package.
China is watching closely
The CIA director stressed that Russia does not appear interested in serious negotiations. "The Russians might be interested in the theatre of negotiations, but they do not seem genuinely interested in negotiating," he stated. He added that for real negotiations to be possible, "we need to help the Ukrainians demonstrate that Putin is mistaken in his belief that time is on his side".
