The Ukrainian authorities are increasingly distressed by the delay of the military aid package of more than 50 billion euros. The Republican Party has been blocking this item in Congress for half a year, under the influence of former President Donald Trump.

Volodymyr Zelensky warns that there will be “a bloodbath” if he does not receive the funds that are now blocked by Republicans in Washington. The Ukrainian Armed Forces insist on the weakness of their arsenal: Russian artillery has six times more ammunition than Ukrainian artillery. The country's Energy Minister, Herman Galushchenko, indicated on April 8 that the Russian Air Force has damaged 80% of its thermal plants and more than half of its hydroelectric plants in recent weeks. The UK Foreign Minister, David Cameron, had dinner with Trump on Tuesday and did not convince him to unblock military assistance for Kiev, according to the Guardian newspaper. The Guardian added that Cameron did not even get the Republican Party to grant him a meeting with Republican Mike Johnson, president of the US Congress.
