“We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding,” John Kirby said. White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that “the assistance we were providing has come to a halt.”

The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

    Argentina has a lot of Russians that go there to have their baby. Apparently the baby gets citizenship if born there. So a lot of Russian young couples go there apparently.

    What does having Argentinian citizenship get you though, from a Russian’s perspective?

      As I understand it, the parents then also apply.

      Once they have argentinian citizenship they can stay out of Russia indefinitely or untill the war ends. A lot of countries have maximum stay dirations.

      Also the argentinian passport allows them to travel using said passport, making travel easier in many countries at the moment.

      Lastly it allows them to apply for naturalization in 3rd countries coming from Argentina and that is also better for some skilled laborers apparently. At least that’s what I understood from their explanation.
