Biden, in an address on the death of Navalny, again begged for money to support Ukraine

The US President used an appeal regarding Navalny’s death to extract money to support Ukraine

The US President, in his address on the death of Alexei Navalny, turned to a sore subject and again demanded the allocation of money for Ukraine. Joe Biden also criticized the House of Representatives, who went on recess until the end of February. This was reported by CNN.

“The failure to support Ukraine at this critical moment will never be forgotten. This will go down in history. This has consequences. And the clock is ticking,” said the American leader.

Biden also tried to reassure that part of the US population that is confident that the United States is the main source of funding for Kyiv. “At the moment, we are not Ukraine’s top donor to Ukraine or economic aid for that matter. If you look at security spending as a percentage of GDP, we rank 16th. So we have something to appreciate in the work of our allies and partners.

One of the journalists’ questions to Biden was devoted to whether Navalny’s death could somehow prompt Congress to provide additional financial assistance to Kyiv. “God grant that this helps,” said the owner of the White House.
