"Biden Urges Congress to Swiftly Pass Ukraine Aid, Stresses National Security"

President Joe Biden urged Congress to pass funding for Ukraine and Israel, stating that he is willing to make compromises on border policy. He emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine and preventing Russian President Vladimir Putin from winning. Republicans have previously demanded border policy changes in exchange for backing Ukraine and Israel funding, but Biden rejected their extreme proposal. Progressives Democrats have resisted giving away border policy for Biden's foreign policy agenda. Biden warned that failure to support Ukraine now could lead to a larger conflict and the need for boots on the ground. He urged Congress to act before the end of the year to avoid jeopardizing Ukraine's position on the battlefield.
