"We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding," John Kirby said.

“We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding,” John Kirby said. White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that “the assistance we were providing has come to a halt.”

The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

    Biden has nothing to do with this, and if it were up to Biden, we would continue sending help to ukraine.

      What a cop out. If Biden put the same effort into getting Ukraine weapons as he does for israel he could certainly find a way. He just doesn’t.

      Just like how Biden can’t fix the student loans because “muh Republicans”. It’s Good cop Bad cop and you’re still falling for it.

        You realize he’s President, and not King, right?

            Why did Biden choose to bypass Congress for Israel instead of Ukraine?

            Probably because one is at a current stalemate, while the other one is currently fighting battles in real time so they need immediate assistance that they can’t wait on Congress for.

            From the article…

            Such determinations are rare, but not unprecedented, when administrations see an urgent need for weapons to be delivered without waiting for lawmakers’ approval.

        This comment a good example of why its important to learn and understand how our government functions.

        The President is not a dictator and our government has separation of powers specifically to prevent abuses by one person.

        Your understanding of government would also allow Donald Trump to do anything he wanted as well, which would clearly be a terrible outcome.
