Biden calls on Congress to 'immediately' pass Ukraine aid bill, says COVID funding will 'move separately'
Fox News
President Biden on Monday urged Congress to “immediately” pass the “urgent” $33 billion proposal to provide military, economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, while saying he is “prepared to accept” that measure and a COVID funding package will “move separately” so that the Ukrainian aid bill can get to his desk “right away.”
"The plan was substantial in size, because the need is substantial: We must stand by Ukraine as it defends itself from Russian aggression," Biden said in a statement Monday. "The need is also urgent: I have nearly exhausted the resources given to me by a bipartisan majority in Congress to support Ukraine’s fighters."
