National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan made a surprise visit to Kyiv and vowed that the US House of Representatives would approve a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine, saying there was no need to come up with other plans to get the country the help it needs.
“I’m confident that we will achieve Plan A,” Sullivan told reporters in Kyiv. “We will get a strong bipartisan vote in the House for an assistance package for Ukraine, and we will get that money out the door as we should. So I don’t think we need to speak today about plan B.”
