Ukraine is likely to lose “significant ground in 2024” in its fight against Russia if the US Congress fails to pass a bill to give it additional supplemental funds, CIA director Bill Burns said on Monday.
Ukrainian fighters withdrew from Avdiivka, in eastern Ukraine last month, and Burns said Kyiv would be forced to make similar decisions without more US aid.
With assistance, he said, the CIA assessed that Ukraine could “hold its own” on the front lines in 2024 and early 2025. He said Ukrainian strikes had sunk 15 Russian ships over the past six months, and that additional aid would allow more such attacks.

A light, 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck in Louisiana on Thursday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 5:30 a.m. Central time about 6 miles west of Edgefield, La., data from the agency shows.
U.S.G.S. data earlier reported that the magnitude was 4.4.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.

When aftershock data is available, the corresponding maps and charts include earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days of the initial quake. All times above are Central time. Shake data is as of Thursday, March 5 at 8:40 a.m. Eastern. Aftershocks data is as of Thursday, March 5 at 10:46 a.m. Eastern.
