In a high-stakes situation, US President Joe Biden has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting Ukraine while the United States narrowly sidestepped a government shutdown on Saturday, CNN reported.
Biden has called upon Congress to pass separate funding for Ukraine, emphasising its importance in the ongoing conflict with Russia. This plea comes after a stopgap funding measure initially included aid for Ukraine but ultimately dropped it.
The President stressed the need for uninterrupted American support, stating, “While the Speaker and the overwhelming majority of Congress have been steadfast in their support for Ukraine, there is no new funding in this agreement to continue that support. We cannot under any circumstances allow American support for Ukraine to be interrupted.”
Biden also criticised House Republicans for creating what he termed a “manufactured crisis”.
