US President Joe Biden expressed his support for the adoption of bills on military assistance to Ukraine and Israel by the US House of Representatives. In his statement, he called on the Senate to review these documents as soon as possible and send them for his signature.
Biden praised the efforts of members of both parties and House Speaker Mike Johnson to advance US national interests. In addition, he emphasized the importance of American leadership on the world stage. The President noted that he fought for the urgent adoption of these bills and emphasized that now a critical moment has come, when Ukraine is under attack from the Russian Federation, and Israel is facing threats from Iran.
Biden said rushing the bills to his desk would allow needed weapons and equipment to be sent to Ukraine more quickly to meet its urgent battlefield needs.
The House decision also received praise from European Council President Charles Michel, who called it “long overdue.” Michel stressed that this is a clear signal to the Kremlin of its support for freedom and the UN Charter, as well as the urgent need to continue to support Ukraine and its people.
