Biden, Scholz advocate Ukraine's aid package amid US standoff

Firstpost  

US lawmakers were urged by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Joe Biden to approve a military aid package for Ukraine on Friday, citing its inability to prevent Russia’s invasion. In the Oval Office, Biden welcomed Scholz and remarked, “The failure of the United States Congress in not supporting Ukraine is close to criminal neglect.” “It is outrageous.” Behind the US, Germany is Kyiv’s largest military ally. He later told reporters after his meeting with Biden: “That is why we are both firmly convinced that this must happen now, but also confident that the American Congress will ultimately make such a decision.” Scholz also accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of “telling a lot of lies” in a “ridiculous interview” with US talk show host Tucker Carlson that was posted on Thursday. Scholz on Friday called the war in Ukraine the biggest crisis, “with all its consequences for security and peace not only in Europe but everywhere in the world.” The Scholz-Biden meeting also featured talks on escalating tensions in the Middle East, where Israel’s war against Hamas shows no sign of letting up and Washington has launched strikes on Iran-linked targets following attacks on American troops.
