Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba (pictured left) urged the United States again on Thursday to pass the bill authorizing additional aid for Ukraine. He said the support will "literally, without exaggeration, help save Ukrainians from Russian missile slaughter" ahead of a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken (right).
"This is a matter of death and life for thousands of people, and in a broader sense, it’s a matter of Ukraine’s survival in this struggle against a much stronger enemy," Kuleba added. Blinken joined him in calling on the House of Representatives to adopt the bill as soon as this week, noting that "virtually all of the supplement budget requests that are being asked will go into defense production in the United States, building our own defense industrial base and helping to provide good jobs."
