Unlocking funding to support Ukraine “can’t wait” in the face of the danger posed by Vladimir Putin, President Joe Biden warned on Wednesday as he addressed the US Congress, where Democrats and Republicans have yet to agree on a new aid package for Kyiv. This was reported by the AFP and Agerpres agencies.

Failure to vote on additional funds would be “the best gift” offered to the Russian president, Biden added, noting that if the Kremlin leader succeeds in getting Ukraine, “he will not stop there.”

Speaking in a solemn tone at the White House, the Democrat clearly mentioned the hypothesis of a Russian attack on a NATO member country, which would provoke the entry of the United States into the war, and therefore, “American soldiers will be fighting Russian soldiers. “A situation that does not exist now and that Washington does not want, he insisted.

Biden spoke following the results of the teleconference of the leaders of the G7 countries, during which he spoke with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi.

Joe Biden expressed his growing displeasure with elected conservatives who condition aid to Ukraine on a clear strengthening of its migration policy in the face of the arrival of migrants at the Mexican border.

The Democratic president also said he was ready to make “significant compromises” on this issue to gain support from the Houses of Congress. Such support would make it possible to expand military aid to Ukraine, whose main supplier since the Russian invasion in February 2022 is Washington.
