But time is running out, the president said in a warning to Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe cannot under any circumstances allow American for Ukraine to be interrupted,\u201d Biden said in remarks from the Roosevelt Room after Congress voted late Saturday to avert a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/10\/01\/congress-avoids-government-shutdown-drops-ukraine-aid\/\" target=\"_blank\">government shutdown<\/a> by passing a short-term funding package that dropped assistance for Ukraine in the fight against Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have time, not much time and there\u2019s an overwhelming sense of urgency,\u201d he said, noting that the funding bill lasts only until mid-November. Biden urged Congress to negotiate an aid package as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe vast majority of both parties \u2014 Democrats and Republicans, Senate and House \u2014 support helping Ukraine and the brutal aggression that is being thrust upon them by Russia,\u201d Biden said. \u201cStop playing games, get this done.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But many lawmakers acknowledge that winning approval for Ukraine assistance in Congress is growing more difficult as the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/russia-ukraine\">war<\/a> grinds on. Republican resistance to the aid has been gaining momentum in the halls of Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2023\/10\/01\/congress-avoids-government-shutdown-drops-ukraine-aid\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1698669170.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Congress avoids government shutdown, drops Ukraine aid<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Congress passed a bipartisan short-term funding bill at the last minute after removing $6 billion in Ukraine assistance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voting in the House this past week pointed to the potential trouble ahead. Nearly half of House Republicans voted to strip $300 million from a defense spending bill to train Ukrainian soldiers and purchase weapons. The money later was approved separately, but opponents of Ukraine support celebrated their growing numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, on Saturday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., omitted additional Ukraine aid from a measure to keep the government running until Nov. 17. In doing so, he closed the door on a Senate package that would have funneled $6 billion to Ukraine, roughly one-third of what has been requested by the White House. Both the House and Senate overwhelmingly approved the stopgap measure, with members of both parties abandoning the increased aid for Ukraine in favor of avoiding a costly government shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden said that deal was made to keep the government running and he worked to reassure U.S. allies additional funding would be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLook at me,\u201d he said turning his face to the cameras at the White House. \u201cWe\u2019re going to get it done. I can\u2019t believe those who voted for supporting Ukraine \u2014 overwhelming majority in the House and Senate, Democrat and Republican \u2014 will for pure political reasons let more people die needlessly in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign allies were surprised and concerned. European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Sunday from Kyiv that he believed it wouldn\u2019t be the last word on funding from the U.S., but he noted the EU\u2019s continued substantial financial support for Ukraine and a new proposal on the table for additional funding .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have a hope that this will not be definitive decision and Ukraine will continue having the support of the U.S.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest actions in Congress signal a gradual shift in the unwavering support that the United States has so far pledged Ukraine in its fight against Russia, and it is one of the clearest examples yet of the Republican Party\u2019s movement toward a more isolationist stance. The exclusion of Ukraine funding came little more than a week after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/09\/21\/zelenskyy-warns-congress-dod-that-kyiv-will-lose-without-aid\/\" target=\"_blank\">lawmakers met in the Capitol with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a>, who sought to assure lawmakers that his military was winning the war, but stressed that additional aid would be crucial for continuing the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3047\" height=\"2031\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23265583378155.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"President Joe Biden meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023, in Washington.\" class=\"wp-image-79013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23265583378155.jpg.jpg 3047w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23265583378155.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23265583378155.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23265583378155.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23265583378155.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23265583378155.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3047px) 100vw, 3047px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">President Joe Biden meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023, in Washington. (Evan Vucci\/AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that visit, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that one sentence summed up Zelenskyy\u2019s message in his meeting with the Senate: \u201c\u2018If we don\u2019t get the aid, we will lose the war,\u201d Schumer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, McCarthy, pressured by his right flank, has gone from saying \u201cno blank checks\u201d for Ukraine, with the focus being on accountability, to describing the Senate\u2019s approach as putting \u201cUkraine in front of America.\u201d He declined to say after the vote on government funding whether he would bring aid for Ukraine up for a House vote in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf there is a moment in time we need to have a discussion about that, we will have a discussion completely about that, but I think the administration has to make the case for what is victory,\u201d McCarthy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Senate, both Schumer and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky pledged to move quickly to try and pass the full White House request. But it was clear that goal will be increasingly difficult as more rank-and-file GOP senators have questioned the aid or demanded that it be attached to immigration policy that would help secure the southern border \u2014 echoing similar demands in the House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florida Sen. Rick Scott, a Republican who voted for the spending bill after the Ukraine aid was stripped out, said that Congress needs to have \u201ca conversation with the American public.\u201d He said he was optimistic after seeing the money taken out of the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn my state, people want to be helpful to Ukraine, but they also want to be helpful to Americans,\u201d Scott said. \u201cAnd so they want to really understand how this money has been spent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said he would like to send a clear message to the world about U.S. support for Ukraine by passing legislation, but believes the Pentagon has \u201cenough draw-down money\u201d to last through December. He said he believes McCarthy still supports funding for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think he\u2019s dealing with a caucus that\u2019s got fractures that he has to deal with and none of them can be ignored when you\u2019ve got a four-seat majority and 15 nuts in the conference,\u201d Rogers said, referring to far-right lawmakers who have staunchly opposed funding for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he heard McCarthy tell Zelenskyy during his visit that \u201cwe will give them what they need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnfortunately, the message that speaker and the former president is sending is that they can\u2019t be relied upon,\u201d Meeks said, adding a reference to former President Donald Trump, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-republicans-impeachment-ukraine-pennsylvania-c22cda6a5f6783b5f6a1123b724ebaff\" target=\"_blank\">called on Congress<\/a> to withhold additional Ukraine funding until the FBI, IRS and Justice Department \u201chand over every scrap of evidence\u201d on the Biden family\u2019s business dealings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/politics-united-states-government-us-republican-party-texas-michael-mccaul-114e61bdd752d387a3df813638dab68a\" target=\"_blank\">has approved four rounds of aid<\/a> to Ukraine in response to Russia\u2019s invasion, totaling about $113 billion, with some of that money going toward replenishment of U.S. military equipment that was sent to the front lines. In August, Biden called on Congress to provide for an additional $24 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press writers Stephen Groves and Mary Clare Jalonick in
