Keeping Ukraine's war effort up could be too heavy a lift for Europe alone if Republicans break US support

• Republicans in Congress are holding new US aid to Ukraine hostage with the potential for disastrous effects.
• If the US can't support Ukraine in the near term, aid will fall on a handful of European allies.
• But those partners may struggle to get Ukraine the weapons and resources it needs alone.

As Republicans in the US Congress block new aid packages, Ukraine is looking to its other backers for support.

But its other allies, largely European, may not have enough to offer. If the US can't commit to continue its support, aiding Ukraine could be too heavy of a lift for the war-torn country's other partners alone.
