Details: The President of the United States said that he is concerned about the discord between the Republican Party in Congress, part of which achieved the removal of McCarthy, accusing him of conspiring with the White House to help Ukraine.

Despite this, the US President expressed his confidence that "the majority of the members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, support it (providing the aid to Ukraine – ed.)".

Biden said further support for Ukraine is in the interest of fellow Americans, which he will soon deliver a speech on.

"We can support Ukraine in the next tranche that we need and there’s another means by which we’ll be able to fund funding," the American president said, without specifying what he means.

Last weekend, the US House of Representatives approved a budget to fund government agencies for 45 days without aid to Ukraine, and on Tuesday, it voted to remove Kevin McCarthy from the position of Speaker of the House.

Before the vote, the White House expressed confidence that despite the situation with McCarthy's removal from office, Congress will be able to support additional funding for the defence needs of Ukraine.
