US President makes phone call to Ukrainian counterpart
US President Biden called President Zelenskyy today to underscore the United States’ commitment to continue supporting Ukraine ahead of the two-year anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion, Paralel.Az reports citing White House website.
This morning, Ukraine’s military was forced to withdraw from Avdiivka after Ukrainian soldiers had to ration ammunition due to dwindling supplies as a result of congressional inaction, resulting in Russia’s first notable gains in months.
President Biden emphasized the need for Congress to urgently pass the national security supplemental funding bill to resupply Ukrainian forces.
President Biden reaffirmed the strong bipartisan support in the U.S. government and among the American people for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to imposing costs on the Russian government to hold it accountable for its actions.
