Sharing is Caring!

The US president spoke as the White House planned to announce $175 million in additional Ukraine aid from its dwindling supply of money for Kyiv. He signalled a willingness to make significant changes to US migration policy along the border with Mexico to try to draw Republican support.

“If Putin takes Ukraine, he won’t stop there,” Mr Biden said. Putin will attack a Nato ally, he predicted, and then “we’ll have something that we don’t seek and that we don’t have today: American troops fighting Russian troops”.

The US president’s appeal came after the Senate blocked an emergency aid package that included more than $60 billion in new military support for Kyiv.

In an indication that Democrats intend to return to the matter promptly, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer flipped his vote to “no” so he could bring the bill up again in the future.
