WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden is underscoring the United States’ commitment to supporting Ukraine.
As the second anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion approaches, the Russian military is boasting its forces have taken over a city in eastern Ukraine.
The White House confirmed Ukraine’s forces withdrew from Avdiivka, which has been the focus of intense combat for months. Experts say it’s likely a morale boost for Russia.
Biden called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over the weekend and he emphasized the urgent need for Congress to take action. But some U.S. lawmakers are not on board.
“The way they’re walking away from the threat of Russia. The way they’re walking away from NATO. The way they’re walking away from meeting our obligations, it’s just shocking. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Biden told the press.
Biden is blasting Republicans in Congress for not swiftly backing Ukrainian allies.
In a statement, the president blamed “congressional inaction” for why Ukraine’s military is rationing ammunition due to its dwindling supplies.
