We have no plan B: Kuleba on new aid package for Ukraine in Congress
Kyiv • UNN
Ukraine does not have a plan B and is focused solely on obtaining a powerful aid package from the US Congress, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said after a meeting with G7 foreign ministers.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba did not predict the prospects for the adoption of a new bill on aid to Ukraine in the US Congress, but stressed that Kyiv has only Plan A - "making the strongest decisions for Ukraine." He said this during a telethon after a meeting of the foreign ministers of the Group of Seven countries in Italy, UNN reports .
Details
Kuleba refused to go into the details of the proposal by U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, but recalled his words that "we don't need a plan B, because our plan A is to make the strongest decisions for Ukraine, not half solutions.
And today I reminded the Secretary of State (Anthony Blinken - ed.) of this: look, I don't have a plan B, plan A must work - the adoption of a strong bill. And he supported me and said that we should be focused exclusively on strong solutions for Ukraine, i.e., on Plan A,
"But so many spears have already been broken and so many battles have taken place around this draft law - and will continue to take place - that let's just wait for the result," Kuleba summarized.
Recall
A $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan is expected to be passed by Congress, backed by House Democrats, on Saturday, April 20, despite opposition from some ultra-conservative Republicans.
