Biden assures Ukrainians that Washington will not let them down
US President Joe Biden has promised that the United States will not abandon Ukraine. On Saturday, an agreement on an emergency budget was reached in Washington at the very last minute.
That emergency budget does not include support for Ukraine, meaning that additional aid to Ukraine will be frozen for the next 45 days. But Biden now wants to emphasize to the Ukrainian people that they can continue to count on support from Washington.
“There is a sense of urgency to approve new funding for Ukraine in the coming days and weeks. Look at me, we will get this done,” it said.
At the same time, he lashed out at Republicans who are demanding major cuts in the US budget. “Enough is enough, I’ve had enough of this scheming. That politics has to stop, we can’t use a new crisis.”
Kiev had previously announced that it was actively cooperating with Washington for additional financial assistance. “This situation will not prevent the flow of aid from continuing to arrive in Ukraine,” said Oleh Nikolenko, spokesman for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
