Who were unable to pass the draft aid budget even after several months had passed, and in addition, in a recent interview, the Russian President declared readiness to use nuclear weapons again.

Putin threatens to use nuclear weapons again

During an exclusive interview with Russia One TV station, President Putin answered a journalist's question: Is Russia in a position to prepare for a nuclear war if it actually happens? The Russian leader replied: Russian nuclear missiles are in a state of complete readiness. They are all modern and improved missiles.

Since Russia launched its aggressive war on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly threatened Western countries that help Ukraine. The first use of nuclear weapons will be on February 28, 2022, or 4 days after the invasion of Ukraine. The last time before last night's threat was on March 1, after French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he would not rule out the possibility of sending soldiers to help in the fighting in Ukraine.

During his annual State of the Nation Address to Parliament President Putin declared that if NATO member states sent soldiers to assist the Ukrainian army in the fight the consequences would be on a tragic level. He added that this leads to the danger of nuclear war. Western countries must realize that Russia also has the ability to attack targets within NATO's borders. Russia is currently the country that possesses the largest number of nuclear warheads in the world.

As of 2023, the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) reports that there are approximately 12,500 nuclear warheads worldwide, possessed by nine countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Israel, Pakistan, India, China, and North Korea.

Russia attacks the homeland of the Ukrainian leader

Serhiy Lysak, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, reported yesterday, local time, that Russia fired missiles at two residential buildings in the town of Kryvyi Rih, a north-central region of Ukraine and the birthplace of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and the attack was abandoned at that point. At least three people were killed and more than 30 people were injured, including many seriously.

After the incident, President Zelensky of Ukraine made a statement via a video clip in which he expressed his condolences to those injured and killed in the incident. Along with thanks to the United States for the new assistance that is on the way

The latest aid delivery was confirmed last night by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Last night he gave a press conference in which he stated that the United States would provide emergency arms assistance to Ukraine. A total value of more than 300 million US dollars, or about 10 billion baht, represents weapons that will be sent with this assistance. It will consist of a GMLRS guided missile system cannon bullet for the High Mars System

In addition to the weapons that appear in the aforementioned list. Some media outlets, such as Politico and the Wall Street Journal, have said the assistance may include the military's unlisted tactical missile system, or ATACMS, used by the United States. Previously, ATACMS was a long-range missile. It has a range of up to 300 kilometers and can fire one ball at a time when using the HIMARS system as a launcher. Such a long operating range may allow Ukraine to attack some distant targets, such as areas in the Crimean peninsula or the Kerch Bridge. It connects mainland Russia to the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which has been occupied since 2014.

US deals to reduce defense costs to help Ukraine

The main question is: How did the United States send weapons to help Ukraine? Among the bills related to national security is a bill that includes massive amounts of aid to Ukraine. It has not yet passed the US House of Representatives.

The US National Security Advisor said that the $300 billion budget came as a result of negotiations between the United States and the United States. and local arms manufacturers to save costs in weapons production contracts for the Department of Defense.

The US National Security Advisor confirmed that weapons will only help Ukraine in the short term. Most importantly, Congress approves the pending budget package.

Currently, the national security bill is still awaiting consideration by the US House of Representatives, which is headed by Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. This matter has not yet been put on the representatives' agenda for a vote.

Representatives of the House of Representatives tried to vote to approve the budget without waiting for the Speaker of the House.

Many parties have analyzed that this was part of former President Donald Trump's plan to obstruct the US government's aid plan for Ukraine. So you can be sure of that and he will have a chance to win the presidential election in late 2024.

However, the American CBS News network reported that members of the House of Representatives from the Democratic Party have been collecting and collecting the names of so-called impeachment requests since yesterday, and the impeachment request is usually the only step through which parliamentarians can consider bills. Without the need to obtain cooperation or permission from the Speaker of the House, there must be 218 or more approving votes to complete this process.

Now, CBS News says, representatives from both Democrats and Republicans have begun the process. Democrats have 213 votes and need only five more votes from Republicans.

The next question is does this process have a chance of success? Analysts believe that this is extremely unlikely. Because despite this, Republican lawmakers will agree to provide assistance to Ukraine, but there is a possibility that they will not cooperate with Democratic representatives. Because we are heading towards a major election period at the end of the year, and it must have results.
