The US will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine \u201cas much as we can.\u201d US President Joe Biden announced this today, December 13, during a joint press conference with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, FREEDOM reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt is a great honor to welcome you again, Mr. President, to the White House. When Mr. Putin grossly violated the sovereignty of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 and Russian tanks approached Kiev, we did not think that Ukraine would last a month in this war. And now – here you are, with us, after almost two years of a full-scale war, and Ukraine is standing and resisting. This is already a big victory,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized that the people of Ukraine did not submit to Putin\u2019s wishes, and with the help of the support of the United States and allies, \u201cUkraine will emerge from this war proud, free and firmly strengthened, unless we retreat from its support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe American people should and can be proud of their role in supporting Ukraine, its achievements and successes,\u201d the US leader added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Biden assured that the United States will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine \u201cas much as we can.\u201d An example of this is the $200 million in support, the allocation of which was approved today. The president said that this aid package includes \u201cvery important equipment, ammunition, artillery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden said that without additional funding from the US Congress, opportunities to help Ukraine \u201crespond urgently to operational needs\u201d will be exhausted, and this cannot be allowed to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe must prove that Putin is wrong in his expectations. And the US Congress must take a definite opinion. We see how this situation (the delay in the vote by the US Congress on funding support for Ukraine – ed.) is being used by Russia. When the support block was voted on last week, they celebrated. And the owner of this Kremlin circus \u201ctent\u201d said: \u201cWell done, Republicans, this is good for us,\u201d the American leader noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Republican congressmen are in favor of voting on assistance to Ukraine in a single package with laws to strengthen the Mexican border and reduce migration problems. Biden emphasized that achieving a compromise on this issue is the task of Democratic congressmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are ready to compromise. Funding for Ukraine [Republicans] are holding hostage in order to push through their agenda. This cannot be done, we need real solutions,\u201d said the US President.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The president added that if Putin is not stopped today, \u201che will go further, and brazen aggressors will appear everywhere and will take by force everything they want to take.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe will not leave Ukraine. The majority both among the American people and in the US Congress support Ukraine. They, just like me, understand: the success of Ukraine means overcoming future aggressions, which will determine security in the world,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
