The U.S. House of Representatives will consider additional aid for Ukraine as soon as next week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday, after President Joe Biden announced plans to ask Congress for more assistance for Kyiv.
46th and current president of the United StatesWASHINGTON - The U.S. Congress will move quickly to consider President Joe Biden's request for more aid for Ukraine, lawmakers said on Thursday, with members of both parties predicting strong support for the request even before knowing how large it would be.
"We'll learn about that in the next day or so, to be taken up as soon as we can next week," she told reporters at a photo opportunity with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal before a bipartisan meeting at the Capitol about the needs of Ukraine. Biden, who announced an additional $800 million in military assistance for Ukraine on Thursday, said the amount of additional help in the upcoming request was still being decided.
"If you take a look at what President Zelenskiy and the Ukrainian army and the population as a whole have done, we owe them a debt of gratitude and one way we can pay it back is to make sure that we provide strong bipartisan support for additional funding," Tillis said.
