Details: Kirby said that the dysfunction of the system on Capitol Hill is undoubtedly giving Putin the opportunity to place his own military positions with a greater advantage.
The Kremlin is "certainly taking advantage" of the US Congress's inability to move forward with assistance to Ukraine, Kirby said, reminding that after the capture of Avdiivka, the Russians have not stopped trying to push deeper into Ukrainian positions.
He said that it is increasingly difficult for Ukrainian defenders to hold the line without the support of the United States which they are counting on.
In this context, the White House representative once again called on Congress to pass the necessary assistance package for Ukraine.
