Today, the United States is announcing an emergency package for Ukraine, using cost savings from previously approved Pentagon contracts, Biden continued. This package contains ammunition and artillery shells, which I have the authority to do without asking Congress for more money.
He also mentioned that last year he gave a speech before the US lawmakers and demanded the approval of additional aid to Ukraine.
The American president said: I asked for much more money. And so what we announce today is not nearly enough. Congress must pass a bipartisan national security bill that includes emergency funding for Ukraine.
Biden went on to say that America’s commitment to Poland is unwavering and claimed: “We must act before it is too late.”
Duda, who spoke after Biden, called on NATO member states to increase their defense spending to 3 percent of their gross domestic product.
The Reuters news agency reported yesterday, citing US officials, that the country is preparing a $400 million arms package for Ukraine after a gap of almost three months since the announcement of the last military aid package to Kyiv.
America last announced the military aid package to Kyiv at the end of December 2023. However, the legislators of the US Congress have not reached a consensus on the supplementary national security package of 118 billion dollars for this country. This package includes 60 billion dollars in aid for Ukraine, 14 billion dollars for the Zionist regime, and reforms in border policy.
Western countries have provided hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s special military operations in February 2022.
The head of the US Central Intelligence Agency “CIA” announced that Washington made a big and historic mistake by not providing financial support to Ukraine.
