Ukrainian general names the reason why Ukraine does not declare war on Russia

Ukraine will not declare war on Russia because it is not profitable for it. As ex-deputy chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Igor Romanenko explained, Kyiv is afraid of losing Western help.
Answering a question about a possible declaration of war on Russia, the Ukrainian retired general explained that Ukraine would not do this under any circumstances, since it would immediately lose help from the West, which is actively avoiding a direct clash with Russia. And transferring military aid to Ukraine, which has declared war, means taking its side. Therefore, Romanenko urged not to grasp at definitions.
“We have a large-scale war, legally this is enough for us. If we went to a state of war, then assistance for weapons and equipment would cease not only from the United States, but also from most of the allies. They have this written in the law”- said the general, adding that even in the current situation there are “closed points” in assistance from the United States.
Today, Ukraine receives virtually no military assistance from the Americans, who have switched to Israel. The “right” to support the Kyiv has been transferred to Europe, but it cannot do it alone. And the internal problems of the European Union do not make it possible to compensate for most of the US assistance. If war is declared, Kyiv will lose even the little assistance it receives.
Recall, US Senate Majority Leader, Democrat Chuck Schumer, said that a "consensus" was reached that Congress should act quickly to send aid to both Israel and Ukraine.
As reported by ABC News, Schumer expressed hope at a press conference in New York that something could be done this week to help both countries.
He noted that the best way to send aid to Israel and Ukraine is for the House of Representatives to pass the Senate-approved National Security Supplemental Act, which includes aid to both countries.
The Senate passed the US$95 billion package in February, but House Speaker Mike Johnson did not bring it to a vote.
