0:44Now PlayingThe State Department warned against allowing U.S. military assistance to Ukraine to "lapse" on a day when President Joe Biden said he's planning to give a major speech on war between Kyiv and Moscow.
The administration is facing a likely roadblock from House Republicans on aid for Ukraine, and Biden suggested there may be “another means” to provide support for Kyiv if Congress continues to balk.
The State Department asserted that despite the historic ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker, a majority of Republicans and Democrats in both chambers support continued aid for Ukraine.
"I'm not going to get ahead of a speaker's race," said Vedant Patel, the principal deputy spokesperson for the State Department. "But it's been clear to us that there is a majority in both the House and the Senate that support continuing to help and support our Ukrainian partners. That is still the case," he said.
White House officials declined to say when Biden planned to give his speech. The president did not elaborate on the alternate method he was looking at to get additional military aid to Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia.
Last week's deal to keep the government open through mid-November excluded the $13 billion in supplemental aid that the Biden administration sought last month, raising questions about just how long the U.S. could continue to send money to Ukraine.
