In a joint press conference with President Zelensky, Vice President Harris said, "There is only plan A, which is to ensure that Ukraine receives what it needs.  I will emphasize that an indication of where we can and, frankly, must be is that there is bipartisan support in both of our houses of Congress, on the Senate side and the House of Representatives.  And it is my full belief that were the supplemental package and security package to make it to the floor of the House of Representatives, that it would actually pass".

"I also believe that there is consensus across party lines in the United States Congress that recognizes the — the brutal nature of Moscow’s aggression, and that there must be a response that includes standing by our friends and supporting those who fight against that aggression. And I do believe there is consensus within the United States Congress that the American leadership, elected leaders in the United States Congress must be unified in their opposition to Russia’s aggression, as indicated over the course of the last two-plus years and the last 24 hours. And I do believe also there is consensus within the United States Congress that we must use everything that is available to us to support Ukraine in its fight to become and to maintain itself as an independent and democratic nation", - stated Vice President. 

President Zelensky acknowledged the "electoral, internal, political" challenges inside the United States, but said there was "no alternative" for Ukraine to having Washington as its partner. He said so much depends on "this single voting procedure" in Congress, and described how U.S.-supplied Patriot missiles were allowing his country's economy to keep functioning. 

"We are counting on this positive decision of the Congress," he said. "For us, this package is vital."

"As regards the security guarantees, right?  So, regarding the security guarantees, yes, our teams are working.  We have held, already, two negotiation rounds, and I’m sure that we will have very powerful document with our partners. However, we have agreed upon that we all need to focus on what is needed right now.  That’s why we focus on the work with Congress of the United States.  And afterwards, we will move on to security guarantees", - said President Zelensky.
