“Once once more, I’m personally appealing to Chairman Mike Johnson. Please let democracy run its course. Please, let’s put it to a vote,” said Foreign Minister Radoslav Sikorski, who was visiting Washington.
“I want him to know that the whole world is watching what he’s going to do. And if this annex is not accepted and Ukraine fails on the battlefield, it will be his responsibility,” he said at the Atlantic Council before meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Mr. Johnson represents an extremely narrow Republican majority in the House of Representatives and refuses to bring to a vote the so-called supplemental funding bill, in which US President Joe Biden (Joe Biden) is asking for $61 billion. dollars (56.21 billion euros) for Ukraine.
Johnson, an ally of Donald Trump, who is seeking rematch once morest Mr. Biden, supported the former president in trying to tie foreign aid to the debate on measures once morest illegal migration to the United States from Mexico.
Sikorski’s stern remarks came following Poland’s new prime minister, Donald Tusk, issued an unusually harsh criticism of US lawmakers and warned that Republican icon Ronald Reagan would turn over in his grave.
R. Sikorski said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is checking the credibility of the United States, and pointed out that Russia receives weapons from Iran and North Korea.
“These terrorists and dictators have one thing in common – hatred of America, the West and democracy, hatred fueled by fear,” said R. Sikorski.
“They want to show that the United States is weak, ineffective and hopelessly divided, that America can no longer function effectively and be a force for good in the world,” he added.
