❗️ The issue of US assistance to Ukraine is postponed until next year - Reuters.

"Our negotiators are going to be working very, very diligently over the December and January break period, and our goal is to get something done as soon as we get back," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters.

The chamber's No. 2 Republican, John Thune, also said a deal would not be reached before January.

"Democrats have run out the clock to the point where getting a substantive border security deal passed before Christmas is impossible," he said on the Senate floor.

- Meanwhile, whilst the senators blame each other, Ukrainian soldiers are unable to take a break until next year or enjoy any eggnog in the trenches, defending our freedom.
