Republican Representative Matt Gaetz, who said he would try this week to remove McCarthy as speaker, accused McCarthy yesterday of reaching a secret deal with Biden for Ukraine aide. — Reuters picWASHINGTON, Oct 3 — A last-ditch weekend spending agreement avoided a US government shutdown but left pro-Ukraine officials in Washington scrambling yesterday to determine the best path forward for securing approval for billions more assistance for Kyiv.

Washington has sent the Kyiv government US$113 billion in security, economic and humanitarian aid since Russia invaded in February 2022. President Joe Biden asked Congress in July to approve another US$24 billion related to Ukraine, which Ukraine supporters — Republicans as well as Democrats — had hoped could become law as part of a spending bill.

Republican Representative Matt Gaetz, who said he would try this week to remove McCarthy as speaker, accused McCarthy yesterday of reaching a “secret deal” with Biden for Ukraine aide, amid reports that McCarthy had agreed to allow a House vote on assistance for Kyiv after the spending bill passed. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre urged Congress to move quickly. “They don’t have to wait 45 days to get this done,” she told a daily press briefing, where she also expressed confidence the assistance would continue.

“Today, DoD has exhausted nearly all available security assistance funding for Ukraine,” McCord wrote in the letter, dated September 29 and expressing concern that the stopgap spending bill did not include security assistance for Ukraine.
