The heads of the House Homeland Security, Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Oversight Committees support Ukraine.
The United States has no legal alternative to providing aid to Ukraine other than voting in Congress to provide aid to Kyiv. John Kirby, coordinator of the US National Security Council, said this in a briefing on Wednesday, January 31.
“Additional assistance on national security issues is what we need, it has been proven, put up for discussion with our colleagues in Ukraine. We need this funding now. Right now, as we speak, we are not sending of additional security assistance to Ukraine “There is nothing left. We need to have this fund,” he said.
Kirby emphasized that there is bicameral, bipartisan support for Ukraine in Congress, and the fact that aid has not yet been voted on does not “play against Putin.”
“I will not contact members of Congress. We believe there is strong bipartisan support and bipartisan support specifically for Ukraine. The heads of the Homeland Security, Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Oversight Committees in the House of Representatives supports Ukraine. But these are issues of passage, and active negotiations continue now,” said Kirby.
Regarding the supply of ammunition for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, he noted that artillery shells remain one of the most expensive on the battlefield and the Ukrainians currently lack them.
“The situation is not the best, and that is why we need additional funding. It is critical. Artillery shells remain some of the most expensive ammunition on the battlefield. It is very important for Ukraine to get the funding that it’s so we can get the funding back. be leaders in supporting Ukraine and being able to defend themselves,” a White House spokesman said.
As a reminder, White House National Security Council Coordinator John Kirby said that the Ukrainian air defense forces were forced to conserve missiles in the missile attack on Tuesday, January 23, because there is still uncertainty about the next deliveries of Americans.
