Biden administration confident Congress will pass additional funding for Ukraine
Joe Biden's administration believes it will be able to secure supplemental funding for Ukraine, despite the opposition of some Republicans in the House of Representatives.
Source: CNN, citing Jake Sullivan, United States National Security Advisor
Quote: "There are strong Republican, as well as Democratic, voices in both the House and the Senate in key leadership positions advocating on behalf of continued financial support to Ukraine so that they have the tools they need to defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity.
So we believe that the support will be there and will be sustained — even if there are some dissident voices on the other side of the aisle, we believe that at the core, there is still a strong bipartisan foundation of support for our Ukraine policy and for supporting and defending Ukraine."
Details: Sullivan said the Biden administration has conveyed to Ukraine and its international allies its "confidence that the United States will continue to be there as we have committed to be there as long as it takes".
Background: In the first half of August, US President Joe Biden asked Congress to approve an additional US$22 billion in support for Ukraine by the end of the year. This time, it may prove more difficult to approve the funds than in previous cases.
