The American leader began his speech to the US Congress on the issue of the war in Ukraine and the need for military assistance to Kyiv.
The Russian dictator Vladimir Putin did not plan to stop only in Ukraine, but the Ukrainians have the ability to stop his “march” of aggression in Europe. However, Ukrainians need weapons. US President Joe Biden announced this on Thursday, March 7, in his “State of the Union” speech before the US Congress.
“Ukraine can stop Putin if we stand up in Ukraine and give them the weapons they need. That’s all Ukraine asks for. They don’t ask for our soldiers. None of our soldiers are in Ukraine, and I’m determined to keep it that way But now aid to Ukraine is being blocked by those who want to distance themselves from world leadership,” Biden said.
After these words, the Congress burst into applause. It is noteworthy that even the speaker, Republican Mike Johnson, applauded, because of which aid to Ukraine remained blocked for a long time.
“My predecessor, the former president, tells Putin – do whatever you want. The former president said this. He supported the Russian leader. This is terrible and unacceptable,” Biden emphasized.
According to the US President, the country cannot endanger Ukraine, Europe and the entire free world.
“We must answer the challenge to Putin. History is watching us. We cannot endanger Ukraine, Europe and the whole world. I told Putin a very simple thing – we will not retreat, we will not fall,” said the President of the United States united states .
Let’s remember that the war in Ukraine and the need for an ambulance with weapons was the first topic that the leader raised in his speech.
It was earlier reported that the UGCC bishops met with Speaker Johnson and explained to him that the cost of delaying aid is people’s lives.
Let’s recall that on February 13, the US Senate supported a package that provides more than $60 billion for Ukraine, mainly for military aid. But the bill was never considered in the House of Representatives because of Speaker Johnson’s refusal to bring it to a vote.
Now US congressmen are preparing an alternative bill to support allies, particularly Ukraine. In it, part of the benefit can be converted into a loan, and its processing is delayed for several weeks.
