The US State Department said that the issue of assistance to Ukraine is at a critical point. After all, the United States has exhausted approximately 95% of its funds to provide security assistance to Ukraine.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said during a press briefing on November 14 that security assistance to Ukraine is very important. By the way, on November 14, the US House of Representatives approved a project on two-stage temporary financing of the government without money from Ukraine and Israel.

What the State Department is saying about aid to Ukraine

We believe it is urgent for the House to accept the additional requests that we have made, not only for funding for security assistance to Ukraine, not only for funding for security assistance for Israel, but also for funding for humanitarian assistance that we asked for the people of Gaza. We believe this is very important both for their safety and well-being and for Israel's long-term security interests,” said Matthew Miller.

Before this, the US Senate said when it would consider Biden’s request for assistance to Ukraine. In particular, we are talking about the periods after Thanksgiving – that is, after November 23.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the combined national security package includes assistance from Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and strengthening the border with Mexico. He assured that he “very much wants all four of the president’s requests to be approved – on Ukraine, Israel, humanitarian and Indian-Pacific.”

What preceded this

• At the same time, the new speaker of the US House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson, wants to divide aid to Ukraine and Israel. Moreover, he included assistance to Ukraine in the aid package with provisions for border security with Mexico.
• At the same time, the White House and Senate criticized Mike Johnson's relief package and rejected his project to temporarily extend funding with different deadlines for different government agencies.
