Biden Lost His Temper After Zelenksy Asked for More Aid Just Days After Getting $1 Billion, Per Report
NBC News, citing four sources familiar with the situation, reported on Monday that during the June 15 phone call, “Biden had barely finished telling Zelenskyy he’d just greenlighted another $1 billion in U.S. military assistance for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion, which started on Feb. 24, when Zelenskyy started listing all the additional help he needed and wasn’t getting. Biden lost his temper.”
Biden remarked that Zelensky should be more appreciative of what the United States was doing for the Eastern European country, according to the report, which was written by correspondents Carol E. Lee and Courtney Kube and reporter Dan De Luce. Nonetheless, the relationship between the two leaders “has only improved since the June phone call, after which Zelenskyy made a statement praising the U.S. for its generous assistance.”
