The Kremlin declared on Thursday December 7 “hope” that American elected officials were going to decide against the payment of new aid to Ukraine, still engaged in its fight against the Russian invasion. During a press conference, the spokesperson for the Russian presidency, Dmitri Peskov, estimated that the Congress “burns” money from the United States to Ukraine, a few hours after parliamentarians failed to agree on new aid for kyiv.
The American Congress failed, Wednesday, to make progress on the release of a large envelope of more than 106 billion dollars (around 98.3 billion euros), insistently demanded by President Joe Biden, including funds for both for Ukraine and for Israel. The Republican opposition strongly refused to support this text, demanding significant concessions on US migration policy in exchange for its votes.
