Russian President Vladimir Putin is not reckless enough to attack a NATO country, Polish foreign minister Radosław Sikorski said in an interview with BBC World, as reported by the Polish outlet RMF24 on May 4. The Polish FM was asked how much he considers Russia to be a threat to Poland. Although he doesn't believe Putin is reckless enough to attack a NATO country, Putin is reckless enough to attack Ukraine and has become a war criminal. Sikorski also emphasized that Poland won't rule out anything when it comes to sending troops to Ukraine, particularly because it helps create a situation wher...

Far-right Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene officially launched her much-discussed plan to oust Speaker Mike Johnson on May 1, delivering on the threat she has made since the U.S. Congress passed Ukraine aid in April. Greene, who is one of the most outspoken opponents of U.S. support for Ukraine in Congress, first submitted a motion to oust Johnson in March amid the impasse on the aid bill. Following weeks of warnings, Greene finally decided to force a vote, which will require Congress to act on the motion within the next two days. The congresswoman later posted on X that she was...

"Aid into Ukraine is ongoing," Jean-Pierre said. "They have been receiving that security assistance.

What we hope is that it gets to the frontlines so that Ukraine can continue to defend itself." The U.S. passed the long-awaited $61 billion foreign aid packa...

After more than six months of hedging, backtracking, and unfulfilled promises, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson finally allowed a vote on aid for Ukraine, which was passed on April 20. President Joe Biden made a request to Congress in October 2023 for $61 billion in aid for Ukraine. Following a grueling battle to appoint a new speaker of the House, Johnson insisted that aid requests for Ukraine should be separated from those for Israel and other priorities, leading to the long delay in getting Ukraine and other allies aid. After a $95 billion foreign aid package passed the Senate in February, J...

Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has ...

The Biden administration has rejected an agreement with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to connect Ukraine aid with lifting the Biden administration's pause on new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export licenses.

"The president supports the pause on pending, additional approvals of LNG expor...

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson is likely introducing a Ukraine aid bill after Easter, facing potential challenges due to internal party dynamics. U.S. aid to Ukraine has been delayed since fall 2023, as various versions of a foreign aid bill have been derailed due to border security disagreements. In February, a $95 billion aid package to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan passed in the Senate with bipartisan support, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has continuously opted not to bring it to a vote in the Republican-led House of Representatives. "House Republicans were crystal clear from the very begi...
