The Joe Biden administration has demonstrated good faith and conscientiousness in negotiating immigration reform to unblock further assistance to Ukraine, and expects the same approach from Republicans in Congress.
That’s according to the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby, who spoke with journalists during a press gaggle on Wednesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“The President — he said it himself. He’s — he’s confident that we are approaching this in a good-faith way. We want our colleagues on Congress to approach these discussions in a good-faith way,” said the White House official.
In this way, he responded to a request to comment on the statement by Volodymyr Zelensky, who expressed confidence that the United States and European Union will not betray Ukraine.
Kirby also confirmed that “some progress” had been made in negotiations between Republicans and Democrats, including with the participation of Biden administration officials. In this regard, he noted that he would not get ahead of events with his forecasts.
“We’ll have to see where it goes,” he concluded.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that the goal of the United States is to provide Ukraine with a solid foundation for further development, as well as independence from large-scale aid in the future.

I haven’t expected good faith from the House or Senate for decades.
He expects “good faith” from the Republican in Congress? The same people who want to impeach him despite having not one iota of evidence of wrongdoing? He’s a dreamer…
Don’t forget, your hero-socialist Bernie is voting against Ukraine support too. You remember him, he’s the Marxist that went on honeymoon to Moscow during Soviet occupation. Let’s try to be fair and factual here.
Alright: I made a deal for them so they don’t have to negotiate.
Lets mine the border between Mexico and the U.S. and give Ukraine everything it needs.
Mexicans mostly get in using the official border crossings, but the Republicans don’t know that and think you can fix the situation with a wall. So a mine field won’t change much but it sounds like tough and rough and that is what Republican voters like to hear.
Honestly, I think aid for Ukraine is a million times more important than some Mexicans crossing the border.
It is about preventing World War III. And a World War is affecting the U.S. a lot more, even if they don’t have to send troops.
When the shit hits the fan in Europe and in Taiwan, so will the very open U.S. economy be affected.
