March or April: the media told how Zelensky set Johnson's deadline for military aid
Kyiv • UNN
A December meeting between U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Zelensky, in which Zelensky warned that Ukraine would only be able to withstand Russian attacks until March or April, largely influenced Johnson's decision to approve a $60 billion military aid package for Ukraine.
December meeting of the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson with President Vladimir Zelensky influenced Johnson's decision to approve military aid to Ukraine. This is reported by Politico with reference to sources, reports UNN.
Politico reports that during a December meeting with Johnson, Zelensky made clear how long Ukraine can withstand a new onslaught of Russian missiles and drones.
"March or April," the President said, according to two sources.
Sources say the December meeting and the gloomy forecast contributed greatly to Johnson's decision to go against his conservative colleagues and come to Ukraine's aid with a $60 billion package.
"Most importantly, it gave Johnson a deadline that the speaker took as his own for the Ukraine aid package," Politico writes.
It is noted that there is no single reason why Johnson, who had previously insisted that support for Ukraine be tied to a Conservative border policy, agreed this time.
Politico reports that the meeting with Zelensky forced Johnson to make an urgent decision about whether to put his speakership on the line to send more weapons to Ukraine.
