President Joe Biden, speaking from his weekend home in Delaware, emphasized the United States' commitment to supporting Ukraine amidst its conflict with Russia, describing the idea of withdrawing support as 'absurd' and 'unethical'. He highlighted the bravery and heroism of the Ukrainian people, noting that 'There's so much on the line.' Biden assured that he would fight to provide the necessary ammunition to Ukraine, a statement he made after telling President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that the US was committed to supporting Ukraine's fight against Russia’s invasion. Furthermore, Biden called on Congress to return to Washington and pass a bill funding the war effort, specifically urging the passage of legislation funding NATO, though he appeared to confuse NATO with Ukraine. This mix-up has led to criticism, especially given the critical nature of the U.S.'s support for Ukraine in its ongoing conflict. The controversy arises amidst mounting pressure on the 81-year-old president following a damning report on his mental fitness, and in response to the aid package for Ukraine and the loss of Avdiivka.
