The long-awaited passing of the U.S. aid bill in the House of Representatives over the weekend was swiftly followed by a collective sigh of relief in Ukraine and among the country’s allies. Speaking in an interview with MSNBC on April 21, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the delay "has had real consequences" for Ukraine. "The Ukrainians have now, for months, been outgunned, roughly one to five, one to 10, depending on what part of the front line you are talking about," Stoltenberg said.
