The Ukrainian Armed Forces will have to decide which cities they are able to hold without the resumption of American aid. This was stated by Deputy Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh at a briefing.

"Listen, if we don't get more - if we don't get the funding we need from the Senate - we're not going to be able to provide these critical packages, and Ukraine is going to have to make choices and decisions about which cities, which towns they can keep with what they have and what partners continue to send them," she said.

Singh called on the House of Representatives to approve the White House's request for $60 billion, without which the United States cannot continue military supplies.

In addition, she commented on the capture of Avdiivka by the Russian army, noting that "unfortunately" there was a "strategic" withdrawal of troops to preserve artillery and ammunition.
