israel is not a nato country. nato allies have been defending israel. they showed the iranian forces that israel was not alone. and this is a lesson. this is a response to anyone on any continent who says you need to assist ukraine carefully. so you don't engage other countries in the war. amna: you said if the u.s. congress doesn't approve the aid it is currently considering, which is some $60 billion held up by republican lawmakers, you said if that doesn't move forward, ukraine will lose the war. if the aid does not move forward, how long do your troops have? is it a matter of weeks or months? could they sustain a spring russian offensive? >> i can tell you without this support we will have no chance of winning. you need to be much stronger than your enemy. today, our artillery shell ratio is one to 10. can we hold our ground? no. in any case, with these statistics they will be pushing us back every day. to defend 100% of what is in our control, we need to go from one to compare numbers. 10 to 10. amna: does the $60 billion potentially, does that hel
