re: Zelensky Warns U.S. Congress: Meet Ukraine Military Aid Demands Or Russia Wins

It’s up to the individual country to decide what assistance it gives.

We could send a strongly worded message.

If Russia wins they won’t stop there.They will attack NATO.The U.S. is bound by the treaty to aid and defend the country that is attacked.U.S troops would be in Europe fighting the Russians.

“ The principle of providing assistance

With the invocation of Article 5, Allies can provide any form of assistance they deem necessary to respond to a situation. This is an individual obligation on each Ally and each Ally is responsible for determining what it deems necessary in the particular circumstances.

This assistance is taken forward in concert with other Allies. It is not necessarily military and depends on the material resources of each country. It is therefore left to the judgment of each individual member country to determine how it will contribute. Each country will consult with the other members, bearing in mind that the ultimate aim is to “to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area”.”
