At the Munich Security Conference, the matter of US funding for Ukraine, which has been under consideration for some time, but Congress has yet to come to a conclusion, was brought up again.
For months now, Republicans have insisted that any additional US aid to Ukraine and Israel should also deal with migration issues.
In turn, Donald Trump said he would ask European allies to reimburse the US for about $200 billion worth of military equipment sent to Ukraine.
“Political gamesmanship has no role to play,” as US Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, put it. She believes that if “the supplemental package and security package to make it to the floor of the House of Representatives, that it would actually pass.”
Despite further US statements about possible future aid, Volodymyr Zelensky firmly stated that he hopes the US would still remain Ukraine’s strategic ally in the war against Russia:
“We are counting on the United States as our strategic partner, that they would remain our strategic partner,” he stressed.
