He said that President Joe Biden is aware that other countries are watching what the US is doing.
But our allies and partners are also watching us closely, because the U.S. leadership has provided critical support to Ukraine. We have literally led the way not only in contributions, but also in coordinating the contributions of other countries to get aid to Ukraine
According to Kirby, it is obvious that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are closely monitoring the provision of assistance to Ukraine.
When asked what would happen if Congress refused to approve further aid for Ukraine, the administration official emphasized that American leadership would be shaken, which would cause some countries to reconsider their contributions.
