Biden Apologizes for Delayed Military Aid to Ukraine, Announces New Package with HIMARS and Artillery Rounds Amid Energy Crisis and Escalating Conflict

On June 7, US President Joe Biden met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris. During the meeting, Biden apologized to Zelensky for the delay in passing a new military aid package for Ukraine that was held up by Republican opposition in Congress. The package had been delayed for several months and allowed Russia to make gains on the battlefield. In response, Biden told Zelensky that the United States was not going to walk away from Ukraine, which is facing historic low energy generation capacity and has imported energy from neighboring countries to cover the deficits caused by nearly half of its available power capacity being damaged or destroyed due to Russian strikes targeting critical infrastructure. The US is Kyiv's biggest supplier of wartime support, and the United States announced that the latest military aid package for Ukraine includes munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), mortar systems, and an array of artillery rounds. Some NATO allies, including the US, said last week they would allow Ukraine to use weapons they deliver to Kyiv to carry out limited attacks inside Russia. The Kremlin warned that Europe's biggest conflict since World War II could spin out of control due to this step.

    The article contains an appeal to authority when quoting President Biden's apology and Zelenskyy's request for continued U.S. support. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of the conflict as a battle between Western democratic freedom and Russian tyranny, with Russia claiming it is defending itself against a menacing eastward expansion of NATO.
