US President Joe Biden will host German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the White House on 9 February as the West struggles to provide new aid for Ukraine in the war against Russia. \u201cThe two leaders will reaffirm their resolute support for Ukraine\u2019s defence of its land and its people against Russia\u2019s war of aggression,\u201d the White House said in a statement on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The United States says it is out of money for Ukraine, unable to send the ammunition and missiles that the government in Kyiv needs to fend off Russia. The Biden administration already has sent Ukraine $111 billion (\u20ac102 billion) in weapons, equipment, humanitarian assistance and other aid since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion in February 2022. Biden&#8217;s latest package of $110 billion (\u20ac101 billion) in new aid for Ukraine, Israel and other national security has had to be stalled because of disagreements between Congress and the White House over other policy priorities, including additional security for the US-Mexico border. That total includes about $61 billion (\u20ac56 billion) in assistance for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union last month paid the final instalment of a multibillion-euro support package to Ukraine to help keep its economy afloat. The European Commission has proposed to provide Ukraine with \u20ac50 billion and at a summit before that last payout, 26 of the 27 nation bloc\u2019s leaders endorsed the plan &#8211; but Hungary imposed a veto. EU leaders are expected to meet again on 1 February to attempt a deal on the financial package, but the veto power by Hungary&#8217;s prime minister, Viktor Orb\u00e1n, who is considered to be Putin\u2019s closest ally in the EU, remains a factor.<\/p>\n<p>The Israel-Hamas war will also be a focus of the White House meeting between Biden and Scholz. The leaders will discuss \u201cefforts to prevent regional escalation in the Middle East, their steadfast support for Israel\u2019s right to self-defence, and the imperative of increasing life-saving assistance and protection of civilians from harm in Gaza,\u201d according to the statement from White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/01\/27\/president-biden-and-germanys-chancellor-scholz-to-discuss-ukraine-aid\">Euronews<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/president-biden-and-germanys-chancellor-scholz-to-discuss-ukraine-aid\/\">President Biden and Germany\u2019s Chancellor Scholz to discuss Ukraine aid<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[719,800,555,2481,559],"class_list":["post-124947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-aid","tag-biden","tag-csr-news-en","tag-scholz","tag-ukraine"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124947\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
