And we count on your continuing support in standing with us shoulder to shoulder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden told Zelensky the U.S. still supports Ukraine \u201ccompletely,\u201d even after congressional Republicans spent months pushing back against a $61 billion military assistance package for the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re still in. Completely. Thoroughly,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>Americans remain divided on U.S. support for Ukraine as America faces its own crisis on the southern border. A Gallup <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/643601\/americans-say-not-helping-ukraine-enough.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a> released in April showed that 36% of Americans say the U.S. is doing \u201ctoo much\u201d for Ukraine while 36% say the U.S. isn\u2019t doing enough to help the European country. Only a quarter of Americans believe the Biden administration giving Ukraine the \u201cright amount\u201d of support.<\/p>\n<p>In April, after six months of holdup, Congress passed a package that appropriated an additional $61 billion to help Ukraine in its war effort against Russia. The legislation was promptly approved by Biden. Zelensky thanked the U.S. for its continued support of his country and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/zelensky-says-ukraine-u-s-working-on-deal-for-military-financial-and-political-support-spanning-a-decade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> that he is working on an agreement with U.S. leaders that would provide military, financial, and political support for Ukraine for the next 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine passed the two-year mark in February, and Putin\u2019s forces recently launched another offensive in the eastern part of Ukraine. U.S. officials said on Thursday that Ukraine would be receiving another $225 million in military aid, the AP reported.
