“Congress must approve additional funding for Ukraine before it goes on holiday, it’s as simple as that,” Biden said at the White House on Wednesday. He warned that otherwise Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin would continue. If Putin were to attack NATO countries, American troops would suddenly be fighting Russian countries.
New aid for Ukraine is therefore “in our overwhelming national interest and in the international interest of all our friends,” the Democrat continued. “Small, partisan, angry politics cannot get in the way of our responsibility as the world’s leading nation,” he warned.
The US government announced further military aid to Ukraine on Wednesday. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the new package of weapons and equipment would have a value of up to 175 million dollars (about 162 million euros). It comes from the limited remaining funds that Congress previously approved. This includes air defense ammunition, artillery ammunition and anti-tank missiles.
Ukraine has been fending off a large-scale Russian invasion since February 2022 and is dependent on foreign support. According to the administration, the funds previously approved by the US Congress for Ukraine will be completely exhausted by the end of the year. The release of new US aid to Ukraine is being blocked by a domestic political dispute between Democrats and Republicans in the US parliament. More and more Republicans are expressing doubts about support for Ukraine or rejecting it entirely. Republicans also want more money to protect the American border.
