Paris US President Joe Biden has publicly apologized for the first time. During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, he said that the US has not been able to provide military aid to Ukraine for the past six months. He is deeply saddened by this and will soon be provided with all the help he can get. Along with this, Biden also announced a new package worth 225 million dollars or about 1800 crore rupees to Ukraine.
Let us tell you that even before this, Biden announced a military aid of 61 billion dollars for Ukraine, but due to the strong opposition of the Republican Party in the Congress, this package has been stopped for 6 months. Biden emphasized that the American people have long stood with Ukraine. We are still together and will always be together. We apologize that Roop got an edge on the battlefield due to not getting the package.
Biden has arrived in France to attend events marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy. On the delay in the military package, the US President said, “I didn’t know what was going to happen with the funding.” I apologize for the delay in the military package. The American people have long stood with Ukraine. I myself fully stand with Ukraine. America will stand with you.
