"Biden Open to Meeting with GOP Leaders on Ukraine Aid"

President Biden criticized congressional Republicans for not passing additional aid to Ukraine, calling it a "big mistake" and expressing willingness to meet with House Speaker Mike Johnson on the issue. Biden also blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and is considering additional sanctions on Russia. The House Republicans have stalled two bills dealing with foreign aid, and Johnson has been critical of Putin but hasn't committed to providing additional aid to Ukraine.
