WARSAW, Poland -- The foreign ministers of Britain and Poland appealed on Thursday to the U.S. Congress and personally to speaker to take the “epoch-making” decision and approve the $60 billion in aid for Ukraine.

Britain's David Cameron and Poland's Radek Sikorski stressed that approving aid for Ukraine as it fights a war against Russia's aggression is a matter of U.S. credibility among its allies in NATO and the world.

“This is our joint appeal to the U.S. House of Representatives and personally to Speaker Mike Johnson to submit the Ukraine aid package to a vote,” Sikorski told a news conference after talks with Cameron, stressing they are appealing for an approval of the package.

He called it a “epoch-making decision” that will have influence on U.S. credibility around the globe.

Cameron said aiding Ukraine was the “challenge of our generation” while the main question was “do we have the political will to match it?”
