President Joe Biden assured that the United States will continue to support Ukraine despite aid being dropped from a deal to avoid a government shutdown. He urged Republicans to stop playing games with funding and emphasized that the US will not abandon Ukraine. Biden spoke from the White House, stating that there is an urgent need for Congress to pass a new assistance package for Ukraine as it faces the Russian invasion. However, the recent compromise between Republicans and Democrats did not include any new war-time aid for Ukraine. Biden criticized Republicans and called on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to avoid another shutdown drama when the 45-day stopgap deal expires. He expressed his frustration with the brinksmanship and called for an end to the constant crisis.
