During a security conference in Munich, Vice President Kamala Harris met with Ukrainian President Zelensky to reaffirm U.S. support for Ukraine. The conversation comes at a critical time as funds earmarked for Ukraine have been stalled in Congress. The White House's national security supplemental request, issued in October, proposed $60 billion in aid for Ukraine. However, this allocation has faced obstacles in Congress due to internal disputes.
While the Senate recently passed a foreign aid package including the $60 billion for Ukraine, the House is currently on a two-week recess with no immediate plans to advance the package. Vice President Harris emphasized the importance of providing unwavering support to Ukraine, urging against political gamesmanship during these crucial times of unprovoked aggression.
