The White House warned on Tuesday that time is running out to fund Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion, after hardline Republicans in Congress blocked US aid for Kyiv.
“Time is not our friend. We have enough funding authorities to meet Ukraine’s battlefields needs for a bit longer, but we need Congress to act,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said.
President Joe Biden told US allies in a call earlier Tuesday that he was “confident that we’re going to continue to have bipartisan and bicameral support” for aid, Kirby added.
