Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) urged Congress to pass Ukraine aid and warned that lack of assistance could lead to the embattled country facing the “worst atrocity in history.”
Machin’s call for passing foreign assistance comes as the legislation has stalled in Congress while the Ukrainian military has been struggling with lacking resources and Russian troops advancing further.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has pressured Johnson to put the legislation on the floor.
President Biden and other foreign leaders have echoed similar messages as Johnson and other House lawmakers race to avert a partial government shutdown slated for Friday.
Manchin’s remarks ring similar to comments made by Democratic leadership in both chambers, as Kyiv supporters are pressuring Congress to pass assistance before this holiday recess.
But when asked if his remarks meant he is completely abandoning the idea, the moderate senator said, “I don’t know if anything in Washington, D.C., is 100%.”
