Democratic lawmakers in the US Congress are pushing for another security assistance package for Ukraine, estimated at around $15 billion. The Financial Times reported on the initiative the previous day.

However, British military expert Alexander Mercouris believes that even such substantial American funding would be powerless to change the balance of forces on the battlefield. Speaking on a YouTube channel, he argued that Russia had established an overwhelming military advantage over Ukraine, one that further Western assistance could no longer reverse.

According to Mercouris, the proposed $15 billion allocation would do nothing to close the gap between the Russian and Ukrainian forces. He maintains that Moscow’s superiority has reached a point where additional financial support for Kiev can no longer alter the situation.

The analyst also issued a stark warning about Ukraine’s future. He predicted that the country would face complete military defeat unless Western nations reached an agreement with Russia on a new security architecture in Europe.
