Quote: "I applaud the bipartisan coalition of Senators who came together to advance this agreement, and I urge the House to move on this with urgency. We cannot afford to wait any longer. The costs of inaction are rising every day, especially in Ukraine," the US president said.

Details: He added that there are already reports that Ukrainian troops are running out of ammunition on the front line, while Russian troops continue to advance, and Putin continues to dream of conquering the Ukrainian people.

"There are those who say American leadership and our alliances and partnerships with countries around the world do not matter. They do. If we do not stand against tyrants who seek to conquer or carve up their neighbors’ territory, the consequences for America’s national security will be significant," he added. 

"It is time for the House to take action and send this bipartisan legislation to my desk immediately so that I can sign it into law," Biden concluded.

It is unclear whether Republicans in the House of Representatives will support the project after it is approved by the Senate. At the very least, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson criticised the text.
