The U. S. Congressional recess leaves issues such as aid to Ukraine and border security unresolved, making January a challenging month

Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umerov is confident that Ukraine will liberate Crimea in 2024 and assures of further US military support for Ukraine. Both US political parties support Ukraine in its fight against the "forces of evil."

Danilov is optimistic that the U. S. Congress will approve funding for Ukraine in January, following assurances from U.S. leaders and bipartisan efforts.

The United States is providing Ukraine with significant military and economic support, including efforts to fight corruption and attract investment to strengthen Ukraine's democracy and economy.

In January, the US Congress will return to the issue of aid to Ukraine, and Schumer and McConnell will announce progress in the negotiations, but admit that there are still outstanding issues. They aim to address national security issues, including support for allies such as Ukraine after the crisis.

Senate leaders are working on a compromise on border security and aid to Ukraine, but they will have to negotiate hard, and a vote is likely to be postponed until after the recess.

U. S. lawmakers are unlikely to finalize border security and aid deal for Ukraine this month, Politico writes
