American official Antony Blinken said this on April 2, discussing the impasse in Congress over a multi-billion dollar package for Kyiv.
This information was reported by Reuters, URA-Inform reports.
According to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Ukraine is at a «critical moment» in the war with Russia and urgently needs more Western support.
“It is necessary to provide Ukrainians with what they still need to defend themselves, especially when it comes to on ammunition and air defense systems”, — Blinken told reporters during a visit to France.
He stressed that this is another reason why the request for a supplementary budget that US President Joe Biden made to Congress must be implemented as quickly as possible faster.
Biden called on the Republican-controlled US House of Representatives to approve a package of military and financial aid, but House Speaker Mike Johnson postponed the issue for months, citing domestic priorities.
In turn, the president Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky said that if Ukraine does not receive help, his troops will have to retreat “in small steps.”
We recall that it was previously reported that the elections to the European Parliament: the media reported on the risks that await Ukraine.
