Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski appealed to the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson to put to a vote the bill on the allocation of aid to Ukraine and said other countries should set an example to the United States. He said this in an interview with CNBC, reports UNN.
"Ukraine's success is now a matter of trust in the United States. And if the US support for Ukraine stops, I think the US allies around the world will notice and start to be cautious," Sikorsky said.
He expressed hope that financial assistance to Ukraine would be provided before the US presidential election in November.
Meanwhile, other countries should set an example, the Polish Foreign Minister added.
"What we can do to help your legislative bloc make a decision is to set a good example: Poland spends more than 3% of its GDP on defense," Sikorski said.

He also noted that if we take into account the funds allocated by European institutions and other member states, they have provided much more assistance to Ukraine than the United States, suggesting that this figure is about twice as much as the United States.
"Therefore, we believe that we are giving the United States a good incentive and an example to follow," the Polish diplomat said.
