Biden expressed confidence in the measure's passage, according to the [BBC.](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68330570) 

Zelensky issued an urgent appeal for additional weapons, warning of a potential major crisis in Europe if Ukraine remains without sufficient support.

The US has attributed Ukraine's withdrawal from the battle of Avdiivka to a lack of Congressional support.

This week, the US Senate approved a $95 billion foreign aid package, including $60 billion for Ukraine, following months of political debate. The measure now faces a challenging vote in the House of Representatives, where Republican members are divided.
