"US Army Faces Pressure Over Ukraine Support as Biden Calls for Funding Bill Passage"

President Joe Biden expressed frustration with House Republicans for not passing aid for Ukraine, calling their behavior "shocking" and urging them to step up instead of going on an extended recess. His frustrations increased after the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and he hopes this will make a difference in passing an aid package. The Senate has already passed a $95 billion bipartisan aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has resisted taking up the measure. Biden expressed willingness to meet with Johnson if he has anything to say.
