“Every fight over every next increment has gotten increasingly contentious and increasingly long,” said Jennifer Kavanagh, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, referring to the months-long deliberation of the most recent package for Ukraine that passed in the Senate on Wednesday and past assistance debates. “I think that the plan should be what if there is no more money.”
“It’s uncertain who’s going to be in office in January,” Kavanagh said, further remarking that there is “certainly no appetite for starting the fight over January 2025 now.”
Both Grieco and Kavanagh emphasized the importance of Ukraine showing up to the negotiating table and using diplomacy with Russia to prevent further land losses.
