President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson held a phone call on March 28, Zelensky announced on social media.
U.S. aid to Ukraine has been delayed since fall 2023 amid infighting in Congress. In February, a $95 billion aid package to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan passed in the Senate with bipartisan support, but Johnson has so far stalled bringing it to a vote in the Republican-led House of Representatives.
Johnson is expected to introduce a Ukraine aid bill to the House after Congress returns from Easter recess.
“So you will be firing the corrupt shits that are holding up the aid we both agree is good thing you are giving me, Tak?”
