The administration of US President Joe Biden is trying to persuade its allies that military aid to Ukraine will continue, despite the growing number of Republicans in Congress who oppose it.

As Axios, an American media outlet, reported, a US official, two senior European diplomats, and a source with direct knowledge of Biden's activities told the outlet that the administration's actions are aimed at easing concerns that the Republican opposition could play into Vladimir Putin’s hand in his bid to capture Ukraine.

Allies will receive more information on Tuesday, as Biden and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken are planning to call several of their counterparts in Europe.

Biden's team is telling the allies that it is working on a deal with Congress that would allow continued military aid to Ukraine, a European diplomat said.

On Sunday and Monday, representatives of the Biden administration spoke at various levels with their counterparts in Europe and NATO member states, reiterating Biden's comments over the weekend that US assistance would continue.

US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart Rustem Umierov on Sunday evening and reiterated the US support.

Last weekend, the US House of Representatives approved a budget to fund government agencies for 45 days without aid to Ukraine.

After that, US President Joe Biden called upon the Republicans in Congress not to allow problems with aid for Ukraine.

Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said that the situation with the temporary stopgap budget will not affect the delivery and implementation of the previously agreed aid for Ukraine.
