Ukraine to EU: Don’t wait on US to make decisions

This is the best summary I could come up with:
While support from the U.S. is a vital lifeline for Ukraine, Kuleba urged Europe not to underestimate itself, referencing the Continent’s tendency to “watch closely” what happens in the U.S. when making decisions.
In a last-minute effort to secure the support of lawmakers, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Washington this week as $60 billion in military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine are stuck in Congress, where Republican disagreements over U.S. border policy have kept the legislation from advancing.
Increasingly, some EU officials fear the lack of any historic decisions because of objections from Hungary, mounting talk of war fatigue and frustration at Kyiv’s stalemate on the battlefield.
To Kuleba, losing momentum and failing to show unity across the EU in support of enlargement would have “devastating strategic consequences” for the bloc.
It would tell the rest of the world that something is wrong within the EU, sending a message of division at a time when “consistency and sustainability” are needed.
Kuleba dismissed concerns of war fatigue, adding that there is no viable alternative for Ukraine, nor the EU, to fighting.
