    White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that “the assistance we were providing has come to a halt.”

    The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

    kinda very misleading headline tbh

      I don’t think misleading, more like incomplete (but hey, it’s a headline).

      The real question is whether we will send more or if that comment from the White House is kicking responsibility for the shutdown onto Congress.

      How is it misleading? Nat sec rhetorically says it’s important, passes the baton to Congress. Congress won’t act. No one will ask why Biden can bypass Congress for Israel but not for Ukraine.
