Reference News Network reported on October 2According to a report on the Russia Today TV website on October 1, Alexey Goncharenko, a member of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) of Ukraine, said on the “Telegram” social platform on October 1 that if Washington stops providing military assistance, Ukraine will almost It will definitely suffer defeat in the conflict with Russia.
According to reports, on September 30, Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives McCarthy suggested removing military aid to Kyiv from the appropriations bill to avoid a government shutdown. Congress passed a short-term spending bill at the last moment late at night on September 30 to avoid a government shutdown, which did not include new financial aid to Ukraine.
Goncharenko said: “Without the support of the United States, we have almost no chance of persisting in the fight.” He also described McCarthy’s statement as “not just a reminder to Ukraine” but also a “wake-up call.”
The lawmaker insisted that Kyiv urgently needed to ensure it continued to receive military aid from Washington, adding that Ukraine should take a more aggressive approach in this regard. Among the measures suggested by Goncharenko are Ukraine sending a permanent delegation to the U.S. Congress and Ukrainian lawmakers visiting U.S. states to “convince” Americans of the need to continue supporting Kyiv through direct meetings and television appearances.
According to reports, after U.S. President Biden signed the temporary spending bill, he called on Congress on October 1 to “stop playing games” and vote separately on the aid package to Ukraine as soon as possible to ensure that U.S. support for Ukraine will not be interrupted.
Speaking at the White House, Biden said he expected House Speaker McCarthy to “keep his promise, ensure the package is passed, and provide the necessary support to help Ukraine.”
Biden emphasized: “We have time, but not much time, and there is a huge sense of urgency. Stop playing games and get this done.” (Compiler/Yang Xinpeng) Return to Sohu to see more
