Top US general warns Ukraine on brink of being overrun by Russia

FILE - General Christopher Cavoli, commander of the U.S. European Command, addresses media in Brussels, Jan. 18, 2024. Cavoli told Congress on April 10, 2024, that Ukraine will be outgunned 10-to-1 by Russia within a matter of weeks if Congress does not approve aid soon.

The tenacity of Ukrainian troops will soon be no match for Russia’s manpower and missiles should U.S. lawmakers fail to approve additional security assistance for Ukraine, the top American general in Europe told lawmakers, part of a stark warning about the direction of the more than two-year-old conflict.
