American President Joseph Biden said that the cancellation of financial aid to Ukraine could lead to a crisis in the Balkan countries.
“If we leave, and Russia withstands their attack and defeats Ukraine, what do you think will happen in the Balkan countries? What do you think will happen from Poland to Hungary?”, Biden asked in an address at the White House.
Last night, Biden signed a bill on short-term spending that will keep federal government institutions running until the beginning of March.
The bill does not address additional aid to Ukraine, which remains blocked while key lawmakers continue to negotiate border security measures that would go hand in hand with more support for Kyiv.
