After what has felt like months of gloomy news about stalled front lines, degrading support in Western capitals, and depleted ammunition, Ukraine had a decent week.
In Brussels, the European Union finally convinced Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to get out of the way of a $54 billion, multiyear financial support package to the Ukrainian government, which was passed with much fanfare on Thursday. In the waters of the Black Sea, the Russian navy was dealt another embarrassing setback when Ukrainian naval drones sank the Ivanovets, a Russian missile corvette based in Crimea. And after months of suspense, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced on Thursday that the national security supplemental package, which contains more than $60 billion in military support for Kyiv, will be put on the floor this week.
