“We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding,” John Kirby said. White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that “the assistance we were providing has come to a halt.”

The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

    The Kurds welcome Ukraine in joining the long list of groups abandoned and left in ruins by the US after being promised support to fight their enemy as long as needed.

    Biden needs to focus on committing Genocide now. He has no time for Ukrainians beating an invasion. Surely Zeloonsky understands, he unconditionally supports israel’s genocide himself.

      Except this is Biden’s Whitehouse continuing to tell Congress to approve aid and the GOP blocking that. This was the last package the US could provide without further congressional action. That’s not likely as long as GOP runs the house. Biden and the Democratic party have been pretty lock step in providing aid.

          It did not. It allowed Israel to make a purchase with money Israel has that Congress would have approved anyway a little faster.

      I’m gonna start a bingo card about shit Lemmings say about US politics. This exaggerated and mostly inaccurate rhetoric is really grating.

      Biden has nothing to do with this, and if it were up to Biden, we would continue sending help to ukraine.

      You are so far up your own ass

        What a cop out. If Biden put the same effort into getting Ukraine weapons as he does for israel he could certainly find a way. He just doesn’t.

        Just like how Biden can’t fix the student loans because “muh Republicans”. It’s Good cop Bad cop and you’re still falling for it.

              Why did Biden choose to bypass Congress for Israel instead of Ukraine?

              Probably because one is at a current stalemate, while the other one is currently fighting battles in real time so they need immediate assistance that they can’t wait on Congress for.

              From the article

              Such determinations are rare, but not unprecedented, when administrations see an urgent need for weapons to be delivered without waiting for lawmakers’ approval.

          This comment a good example of why its important to learn and understand how our government functions.

          The President is not a dictator and our government has separation of powers specifically to prevent abuses by one person.

          Your understanding of government would also allow Donald Trump to do anything he wanted as well, which would clearly be a terrible outcome.
