“We have consistently made the case for why supporting Ukraine is in the fundamental national security interests of the United States and the transatlantic alliance. “I believe we continue to have the upper hand on this issue and the vast majority of the American people see the value in this,” the official said.
Sullivan also spoke of a “strong bipartisan group” of senators and congressmen that “continues to support Ukraine.”
“Therefore, we will stick to this course,” TASS quotes Sullivan.
At the same time, the day before, President Joe Biden expressed disappointment that a bill to allocate money for arms supplies to Ukraine and on US border security would probably not even make it to a vote in the Senate. His speech came after the Republican leadership in the US House of Representatives rejected a bill combining proposals to secure American borders and to allocate new money for arms supplies to Ukraine.
