US President Joe Biden will make a direct appeal to the American people in the coming hours to continue funding military aid to Ukraine and Israel. CNN reported this on Thursday, October 19, citing two presidential administration officials.
As noted in the White House, Biden was prompted to make a public appeal through images of the results of Hamas atrocities committed by them in Israel.
Also in his speech, the American leader will explain why it is necessary to continue to support Ukraine.

“He’s going to argue that the cost of inaction and the cost of running away from aid to Ukraine and Israel is much higher,” the White House told reporters.
Biden has been working on the speech with his top aides for a week, the sources said, but the president said he would put finishing touches and edit the prepared remarks before the speech.
Biden intends to ask Congress to allocate $100 billion in aid to Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. A large part of the money will be given to Kyiv.
