Joe Biden apologized to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday for the delay in funneling him even more military aid. The Democrat tried to blame the delay on Republican lawmakers before pledging his unwavering support for the proxy war with Russia.
“I apologize for the weeks of not knowing what was going to pass, in terms of funding, because we had trouble getting the bill that we had to pass, that had the money in it,” Biden told Zelensky before a private meeting in Paris. Biden complained “very conservative members were holding it up” but emphasized that his government intends to continue supporting the Ukrainian war machine despite Ukrainian victory having become an increasingly dim prospect in the face of Russian advances.
