Speaking about Russia’s large-scale attack on Ukraine on 29 December, US President Joe Biden has emphasised that Congress must act quickly to approve more aid for Kyiv.

Source: European Pravda with reference to the White House

Details: The American president stressed that the most recent Russian attack is "a stark reminder to the world that, after nearly two years of this devastating war, Putin’s objective remains unchanged. He seeks to obliterate Ukraine and subjugate its people."

I believe he has. The President has some emergency spending authority, some amount of any type of aid he can give before congressional authorization but it’s limited in both amount and time. The goal is to allow faster response in emergencies but not usurp congress’ control over budgeting. Congress has approved several packages of aid and the President has executed them. It’s time for another

In particular, the temporary measure to prevent government shutdown specifically did not include more aid to Ukraine. Among the many reasons I hope that’s approved quickly is they do need to approve longer term budgets before the temporary measure runs out, and it would be unfortunate if it turns into another political stunt
