Here in Normandy, 12 countries came together, 160,000 men coming to this beach, coming to start the final fight that ultimately, 11 months later, led to victory in World War II. In Ukraine, we have more than 50 countries standing up, standing together, making sure that Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself and to push back this aggression. And that\u2019s the power of our alliances. And that\u2019s the biggest difference maker we have in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In April, Congress passed and President Joe Biden signed\u00a0the\u00a0Ukraine\u00a0Security Supplemental Appropriations Act,\u00a0which appropriated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/2973263\/congressmembers-explain-votes-against-foreign-aid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$60.84 billion<\/a> for the war against Russia. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom sanctioned several Russian oligarchs, even seizing their assets. Three successive prime ministers approved the provisions of weapons, intelligence, and economic aid to Ukraine. Blinken suggested that other countries outside of the historic alliance do not have the same international support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur adversaries, our competitors, they don\u2019t have the same kind of voluntary alliances,\u201d Blinken said. \u201cYes, sometimes they coerce countries into helping them or maybe they pay them off. Here, we have country after country that volunteers to stand together, stand together in defense of principles that we share and know need defending. We\u2019re seeing that in Ukraine. We saw that 80 years ago here in Normandy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian President\u00a0Volodymyr Zelensky\u00a0announced two weeks ago that he still has \u201ccombat control\u201d of the\u00a0Kharkiv region\u00a0despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3001319\/russia-advances-in-northern-ukraine-threatening-kharkiv-ukraines-second-largest-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Russian troops invading<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Kharkiv is Ukraine\u2019s second-largest city.
