NEW YORK, October 27. /TASS/. The US administration has failed to inform the Congress about the country’s ultimate goal in the Ukrainian conflict, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Mike Johnson said in an interview aired by Fox News.

"We want to know what the objective there is, what is the endgame in Ukraine. The White House has not provided that," he said.

In his opinion, the administration needs to report about US funds allocated for helping Ukraine.

Previously, US President Joe Biden filed a request to the US Congress to provide additional military and other aid to Ukraine and Israel worth about $106 billion. According to the accompanying documents, published by the White House, the request for the fiscal year 2024 proposes to allocate over $61.4 billion for Ukraine and over $14.3 billion for Israel.

The future of the request is unknown at this point. A number of Republican members in both chambers of the Congress have publicly spoken out against continuing financial aid to Ukraine.
