President Biden held a call Tuesday morning with nearly a dozen leaders of allies and partners to reaffirm the U.S. commitment to Ukraine.
On Tuesday the White House underscored the need for Congress to pass more funding to aid Ukraine, while maintaining its confidence in bipartisan support for it, despite the turmoil unraveling over House speakership on the same day.
"The leaders discussed efforts to provide Ukraine with the ammunition and weapons systems it needs to defend its territory against Russian aggression, to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses to protect its critical infrastructure from Russia's aerial assaults now and in the coming months, and to repair and harden its energy infrastructure through this winter," a White House read out of the call stated. That call happened before the House vote to vacate Kevin McCarthy as Speaker.
"The scope and the scale, the ferociousness of the fighting right now on the counteroffensive and the expenditure rate of munitions means that there has to be a sufficient production capability to back it up. And no other nation has that like the United States," Kirby said.
