The request of the European Commission to the US Congress to support Ukraine

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency quoting “Spiegel” weekly, Orzo La von der Leyen, the head of the EU Commission increases the pressure on the United States to release billions of dollars blocked for Ukraine.

In this way, due to Russia’s massive attacks on Ukraine, Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Union Commission, has asked the US Congress to release the aid package to Kiev that has been blocked for months.

von der Leyen said in an interview with the German editorial network: “The US House of Representatives must now make a move. Von der Leyen also said that continuing to block the aid package “will harm not only Ukraine, but the entire Atlantic alliance. Republicans in the US Congress are currently blocking the package presented by the ruling Democrats.

“Von der Leyen” said in another part of his speech: “Ukraine deserves the support of all the free countries of the world.” The European Union should show unity in this regard “The authoritarian governments of this world are watching closely to see if the democratic governments are against this,” he said, “and we need to send the right signal, also to prevent wars of aggression elsewhere.” p style=”text-align:justify”>The United States has been Kiev’s main military backer since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but since late last year, Republicans in the US Congress have been under pressure from former President Donald Trump The country blocked the new aid package of 60 billion dollars to Ukraine.

In recent weeks, Russia has launched its attacks on Ukraine using aircraft, cruise missiles, so-called glide bombs. And drones have increased. The latter target was especially the energy supply of Ukraine. Kiev regularly asks its Western allies to supply more ammunition and air defense systems to the country. Europe agreed to speed up military aid to Ukraine. On Saturday, Germany promised Ukraine to deliver the third Patriot system to strengthen its air defense.
