The White House warned Tuesday of dire consequences if Congress fails to pass additional aid for Ukraine, warning of a potential Russian conquest and adding that “time is not our friend.”
John Kirby, National Security Council spokesperson, told reporters that forcing Ukraine to go without U.S. aid for even a short period could allow for Russia to move in.
“Just as critically such a lapse in support will make Putin believe that he can wait us out and that he can continue the conflict until we and our allies and partners fold,” he added. President Biden held a call with U.S. allies Tuesday to reassure them about the country’s support for Ukraine. The call comes after the passage of a clean stopgap measure over the weekend that provided no new aid for Ukraine. There is some aid left from the 2023 funding bill, but it will soon run out.
