    Yeah, that’s a legitimate ask. Ukraine needs some kind of stability and confidence as to what funding they’re getting in the near term, since they have to plan around that.

      Yeah and it’s a huge signal to the Kremlin that democracies are in it for the long run. I think Putin is making a huge gamble that his puppet Trump will win again and cut support for Ukraine. Russia can’t sustain the war like they are for that much longer.
