Biden says ‘no alternative’ but for US Congress to support Ukraine aid

US President Joe Biden said Thursday there was “no alternative” to Congress supporting fresh military aid for Ukraine to fight Russia, after Republican lawmakers threatened to block a new package.

“I’m counting on the good judgment of the United States Congress. There’s no alternative,” Biden, who was meeting Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky, said when a reporter asked whether Congress would pass the funding.
