Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected on Capitol Hill and at the White House next week
Jake Sullivan, the president's national security adviser, on Thursday confirmed that the U.S. president will host Zelenskyy at the White House. It will mark the third time that Biden and the Ukrainian leader have met at the White House.
“It certainly comes at a critical time, as Russia desperately seeks help from countries like North Korea for its brutal war in Ukraine, as Ukrainian forces continue to make progress in their counteroffensive, and just after the next Ukraine defense contact group meeting that Secretary Austin is organizing with dozens of our allies and partners in Europe earlier next week,” Sullivan said during a press briefing at the White House on Friday.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the U.S. was"continuing our relentless work to target Russia’s military supply chains and deprive Putin of the equipment, technology, and services he needs to wage his barbaric war on Ukraine." Congress is increasingly divided over providing additional funding for Ukraine as the war is well into its second year. Biden has sought a package of $13.1 billion in additional military aid for Ukraine and $8.5 billion for humanitarian support. It also includes $2.3 billion for financing and to catalyze donors through the World Bank.
But conservative Republican lawmakers have been pushing for broad federal spending cuts and some of those allied with Donald Trump, the former president, are specifically looking to stop money to Ukraine.___Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.
