US lawmakers have gone into a two-week recess without approving additional aid for Ukraine, a move criticized by President Joe Biden. Biden emphasized that the failure to support Ukraine during this critical time would have lasting consequences and would be remembered in history, stating 'History is watching.' He accused the impasse in Congress of playing into Russian President Vladimir Putin's hands and warned that such a failure would be a gift for Putin. Biden also referenced 'dangerous statements made by the previous President' that invited Russia to invade NATO allies. The President's remarks come as the House takes a two-week recess, leaving the aid package in limbo.

President Biden @POTUS, would you hold your word, and hold Putin accountable? Speaker Johnson @SpeakerJohnson, would you do your job and hold the vote on the aid to Ukraine on your floor? We need your leadership.
