The Ukrainians can count on American military aid which has already amounted to some 3.8 billion dollars since the beginning of the conflict.
It should be further facilitated by the signing on Monday by President Joe Biden of the “Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act”.
This "lend-lease" law takes up the system adopted in 1941 by Roosevelt giving the American president extensive powers to support the war effort in Europe.
“I am convinced that Putin believed he could break NATO, that he believed he could break the European Union,” added Joe Biden a little later during a political fundraising operation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky saw the adoption of this law as a “historic step”:
“I am convinced that we will win again together.
And we will defend democracy in Ukraine.
And in Europe.
Like 77 years ago,”
he wrote on Twitter.
