Kyiv • UNN
Kirby said that Putin is taking advantage of the fact that Congress is delaying a vote on aid to Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is certainly taking advantage of what is happening on Capitol Hill, where Congress is delaying a bill to help Ukraine. This was announced by John Kirby, Strategic Communications Coordinator for the US National Security Council at the White House, during a briefing on March 4, UNN reports.
He is certainly taking advantage of what is happening on Capitol Hill. And the dysfunction of our own system on Capitol Hill definitely gives him the opportunity to place his military positions in a more favorable position
The spokesperson pointed out that after the capture of Avdiivka, the Russians are moving forward.
"So it's high time we passed this supplemental national security bill, it's high time we started restocking the Ukrainian shelves so they can better defend themselves," Kirby emphasized.
