Biden vows to expedite Ukraine funding during his term
US President has vowed to fast track funding to Ukraine during the remaining months in his term.
Biden made the remarks as he announced a new military aid package of more than $8 billion to Ukraine.
“Russia will not prevail. Ukraine will prevail, and we’ll continue to stand by you every step of the way,” Biden said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Biden that “we deeply appreciate that Ukraine and America have stood side by side.”
Zelenskyy was due to meet Republican candidate for president Donald Trump on Friday. Trump has characterized USaid to Ukraine as a waste of money.
Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate met Zelenskyy on Thursday saying US support for Ukraine was in “strategic interest” of the country.
She acknowledged that there were some in the US who would “force Ukraine to give up large parts of sovereign territory,” saying that such proposals were not “proposals for peace” but rather “for surrender.”
Her comments seemed to be in reference to Trump and his running mate JD Vance, who suggested Kyiv should quickly cut a deal to end the war. She described such suggestions as “dangerous and unacceptable.”
