Biden acknowledges Kiev’s ammunition shortage, urges US Congress to help
"Ukraine needs more supplies from the United States to hold the line against Russia’s relentless attacks", said Joe Biden
WASHINGTON, February 23. /TASS/. The ammunition at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is running out and Kiev needs US support, which Congress cannot yet agree on, US President Joe Biden said in a statement.
"They are running out of ammunition. Ukraine needs more supplies from the United States to hold the line against Russia’s relentless attacks, which are enabled by arms and ammunition from Iran and North Korea. That’s why the House of Representatives must pass the bipartisan national security supplemental bill, before it’s too late," he said.
According to the statement, "This bill provides urgent funding for Ukraine. It also invests in America’s own defense industrial base. It passed overwhelmingly in the Senate, and there is no question that, if the Speaker called a vote, it would pass quickly in the House. Congress knows that by supporting this bill, we can strengthen security in Europe, strengthen our security at home, and stand up to Putin. Opposing this bill only plays into his hands.".
