JUST IN: Biden Apologizes to Zelensky For Delays In Ukraine Aid and Blames GOP

President Joe Biden met with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday while in Paris, France, and as the cameras rolled, Biden apologized for the weeks it took to get aid to Ukraine — and pointed the finger directly at some Republicans.

Biden was the first to speak, and he started off by addressing Zelensky:

You know, as I said yesterday at the American cemetery, the Ukrainian people have been incredibly brave. Never given up, never staying… never even yielding. And it’s impressive. And you saw the reception you received when everyone’s stood and gave you a standing ovation. And you deserve it. And, you know, you haven’t bowed down. You haven’t yielded at all. You continue to fight in a way that is, is just remarkable. Just remarkable. And, I’m not going to walk away from you. I apologize for those weeks of not knowing was going to pass in terms of funding and because we had trouble getting the bill that we had to pass, had the money in it, some of our very conservative members who were holding it up. But we got it done finally. And, since then, including today, I’ve announced six packages of significant funding.

At the end of his remarks, Biden assured Zelensky, “We’re still in.” Zelensky in his response thanked Biden for American support.
