White House expects Congress to approve aid to Ukraine in early January - Kirby
US Senate to resume work on January 8 after Christmas break
The US administration expects Congress to approve military aid to Ukraine in early January.
Source. John Kirby, a representative of the US National Security Council, told reporters during a briefing, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
"We would like to get this funding as soon as possible. This will probably happen, most likely in early January. The sooner the better," Kirby said during a briefing.
Earlier this week, it was reported that US senators from both parties concluded that the issue of allocating funds for further assistance to Ukraine will have to be resolved in January, after the break for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
The US Senate is scheduled to resume work on January 8.
Earlier in December, the US House of Representatives also announced that it was going to take a Christmas break and abandon its attempts to resolve the issue of allocating funds for Kyiv this year. Republicans, who control the majority in the House, promised to return to this topic in 2024.
Background. The day before, John Kirby confirmed that Washington would run out of funds to finance Ukraine in December if Congress does not take emergency measures.
