0:59Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden warned that failing to approve additional funding for Ukraine would embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin, and threaten to derail Ukraine’s path toward becoming a country that was “proud, free and firmly rooted in the West.”
Biden spoke alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy who visited Washington in a last-ditch attempt to win Congressional support for fresh aid before lawmakers leave for the year.
“History will judge harshly those who turn their back on freedoms — because today Ukraine’s freedom is on the line, but if we don’t stop putting people in danger, it’s the freedom of everyone almost everywhere,” Biden said on Tuesday at a joint White House press conference. “Putin will keep going and would-be aggressors everywhere will be emboldened to try to take what they can by force.”
US officials delivered stark warnings ahead of Zelenskiy’s visit, saying time is running out to keep the flow of aid to Ukraine ahead of crucial winter months. But Republicans left meetings with Zelenskiy earlier Tuesday unswayed by his appeals to approve Biden’s requested $61 billion in assistance.
