“Well, Mr. President, welcome to the White House. Welcome to the Oval Office. I met yesterday and you shared a preview of your plan to win this war. And that’s what we’re going to discuss today. I am proud to announce a new $2.4 billion security assistance package. I have also directed the Pentagon to release all remaining security assistance funding for Ukraine by January 20th. This will strengthen Ukraine’s position in the future. negotiations. Second, we look forward to helping Ukraine succeed in the long term. So I’m proud of the strides we’ve made in our partnership on these fronts. Earlier this summer, we launched the Ukraine Compact with more than 20 countries committed to Ukraine’s long-term security. And yesterday, with more than 30 countries and the EU, we launched a joint declaration on support for the recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine. Some also use Russian assets. Thus, with both of our actions, we are making it clear that we stand by Ukraine now and in the future.
