Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, does not predict prospects for passage of a new bill on aid to Ukraine in the US Congress

This was reported by espreso.tv

Kuleba refused to go into the details of the proposal of US House Speaker Mike Johnson, but recalled his words that "we do not 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 any 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, that is, on plan A", the Foreign Minister added.
"But so many spears have already been broken and so many battles have taken place around this bill — and will continue to take place — that let's just wait for the result", Kuleba summed up.
  • On April 12, it was reported that Mike Johnson was negotiating with the White House on Republican amendments to the package of aid to Ukraine and Israel.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson has proposed dividing the international aid bill into 4 separate parts, including aid to Ukraine. Biden's administration is ready to consider the initiative.
  • Representatives of the US House Intelligence Committee, after a secret meeting on the situation in Ukraine on April 16, called on Congress to immediately vote for aid to Kyiv, as the situation is critical.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson has promised to bring a bill containing aid to Ukraine to a vote on Saturday, April 20. US President Joe Biden promised to sign it immediately.
