USA stressed this Tuesday that he will not send troops to Ukraine to fight against Russia and estimated that the best way to support that country is for the House of Representatives approve the additional aid package for Kiev.
“President (Joe) Biden has made it very clear that the United States will not send troops to fight in Ukraine”he told EFE Adrienne Watsonspokesman for the White House National Security Council.
The United States thus moved away from the possibility announced by the French president, Emmanuel Macronwhich countries like Germany or one’s own North Atlantic Treaty Organization (I TAKE).
“We believe that Ukraine’s path to victory is for the House of Representatives to approve the additional national security package so that Ukrainian troops have the weapons and ammunition they need to defend themselves and continue to fight bravely for their freedom and independence,” added the spokesman.
Aid to Ukraine is stuck in Congress as Republican House leader Mike Johnsonrefuses to put it to a vote.
That bill, valued at $95 billion and which includes aid for Israel y Taiwanwas already approved by the Senate this month with the support of the Democrats, who have the majority in that chamber, and also of about twenty Republicans, including their leader, Mitch McConnell.
Conservatives have for months conditioned aid to Ukraine on the approval of a bill to reinforce the border and weaken the asylum system, but when a bipartisan group of senators presented one for that purpose they refused to validate it.
“We have said time and time again that Ukraine matters,” Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion two years ago, he added in a press conference, the United States has worked “very hard” so that Ukraine receives aid for its security “as soon as possible.”
“This is not just an American effort. It is an international effort. (…) But nothing can be done without financing»he concluded.
The French president assured on Monday at the end of a summit on Ukraine with more than 20 European leaders that the sending of ground forces to Ukraine should not be excluded and recalled that other red lines have already been crossed in the past due to the persistence of the conflict.
However, Germany, Spain, Italy and NATO, as well as the US and Canada, among other members of the international community, have turned their backs on his words, which have also earned Macron harsh internal criticism in France. . EFE (I)
