US President Biden Expresses Regret Over Delayed Ukraine Military Aid

US President Joe Biden has apologized to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for delays in providing American military assistance to Ukraine. The apology came during a meeting between the two leaders in Paris, where they also attended ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy. According to some reports, Biden specifically apologized for a monthslong congressional holdup in approving military aid, which allowed Russia to gain ground on the battlefield. Despite the delay, Biden emphasized that the US is committed to supporting Ukraine and announced an additional $225 million in military aid. He also stated that the American people are standing by Ukraine for the long haul.
