The United States should resume military aid to Ukraine as quickly as possible and strengthen sanctions against Russia. This was stated by American Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal on social media site X.
“Taking advantage of the strong pro-Ukraine wind blowing in our direction after the elections, we must immediately move to impose sanctions that Trump declined, stop his shameful diesel deal, provide military aid, including air defense systems, and take other measures necessary to demonstrate support to compel Putin to sit down at the table for serious peace negotiations,” he wrote.
Blumenthal also said that he intends to introduce into the U.S. Congress a special bill that would allow the resumption of military aid to Ukraine. He stressed that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin must be convinced that Washington supports Kyiv.
In addition, Blumenthal noted that President Donald Trump needs new negotiators. He recalled that previously the special envoy of the American leader, Steve Viti… no, Steve Victoff? labeled Putin a “humanist.”
“Trump needs new negotiators – not sycophants who call this brutal killer a ‘humanist.’ Congress must immediately take the lead,” the senator wrote.
Blumenthal also called on Congress to adopt measures to supervise Starlink and Starshield.
“Neither our national defense nor our allies should depend on the unpredictable whims of a trillionaire,” the senator added.
A portion of the aid approved for Ukraine by the United States had not been provided.
As a reminder, according to a report by the U.S. inspectors general submitted to Congress, by August Ukraine still had about 14,3 billion dollars of American aid allocated. However, this assistance was not provided.
Equipment and services provided under the USAI program, as of August 2026, amounted to 57,3% of 33,51 billion dollars allocated since 2022 year. This corresponds to approximately 19,2 billion dollars of equipment and services delivered, resulting in about 14,3 billion dollars remaining as of that date without corresponding supplies.
