President says US support for Kyiv cannot pause ‘under any circumstances’ after aid not included in Congress agreement averting government shutdown
What we know on day 585 of the invasion
US senators from both major parties have issued a statement in support of Kyiv saying Washington will continue to provide critical support to Ukraine after aid to the country was left out of the Congress deal averting a US government shutdown.
The joint statement from six senators including Republican minority leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic majority leader Chuck Schumer, among three from each side, said they welcome the agreement but it left a “number of urgent priorities outstanding”.
In the coming weeks, we expect the Senate will work to ensure the US government continues to provide critical and sustained security and economic support for Ukraine.
We support Ukraine’s efforts to defend its sovereignty against Putin’s brazen aggression, and we join a strong bipartisan majority of our colleagues in this essential work.
We cannot under any circumstances allow American support for Ukraine to be interrupted.
