Media: Biden asked Zelensky to stop complaining about insufficient aid from the US

12 October 2022


US President Joe Biden urged Ukraine's head Vladimir Zelensky to stop complaining about insufficient aid from Washington. The Washington Post reported this on Tuesday, citing a former White House official.


According to its information, at an early stage of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, Zelensky urged the United States and other Western countries to provide additional military aid and impose harsher sanctions against Russia, even though the American president and the US Congress were already sending an unprecedented amount of aid and modern weapons to Kiev at the time. Biden told Zelensky that he would have difficulty continuing to ask Congress for money if the Ukrainian leader seemed ungrateful and continued to say that aid was not enough.


In early October, Biden signed into law a bill to continue funding the US government through December 16, 2022, which includes $12.4 billion in additional aid to Ukraine. $4.5 billion of that amount is for economic support for Kiev, including keeping government agencies running.
