Biden Pledges Continued Support for Ukraine, Despite Republican Rift Over Aid Funding

Biden says he will give a "major" speech on Ukraine funding and why it's important for the U.S. to keep its commitment.

Biden believes it's overwhelmingly in the U.S. interest for Ukraine to succeed. Says coalition building has strengthened the U.S. globally.

Republican Party increasingly divided on Ukraine aid. Issue part of recent government shutdown standoff.

Biden says U.S. can support Ukraine in "next tranche" even without new funding. Won't give details on funding source.

White House press secretary reiterates it would be a "major mistake" for U.S. to walk away from Ukraine commitment.
