House Republicans look set to stall a Senate-approved $60 billion aid deal for Ukraine.
It could cost Ukraine the war and embolden Russia to severely weaken the US and NATO, analysts said.
Russia poses the "worst threat" to the US since the fall of the Soviet Union, they said.

The House GOP's refusal to take up a massive aid deal to Ukraine starves its embattled military of the firepower it needs to defend itself from Russian attacks and, over a longer period, could cost Ukraine the war, according to military analysts.
