How might the U.S. view the state of the war in Ukraine? The answer could be in the aid.

MYKOLAIV, UKRAINE - APRIL 21: A view of a Mykolaiv Regional Council building which was destroyed as a result of a shellfire on April 21, 2022 in Mykolaiv area Ukraine. Mykolaiv, a port city near where the Southern Bug river flows into the Black Sea, has been a target of Russian attacks throughout its current invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian forces here repelled an initial advance from Russian-held territory nearby, but the city has experienced frequent shelling and air strikes even as Russia shifts the focus of its war to the eastern Donbas region.
