Biden lost his temper. As NBC reports, the American president raised his voice and asked the Ukrainian be a little more grateful.
He noted that the American people are quite generous and that his administration and his country’s military are working hard to help Ukraine.
A few hours after the call, Zelenskiy admitted: “I am grateful for the support of the United States. It is especially important for our defense in Donbass.” Biden did the same and affirmed that his country “will not waver when it comes to engaging with the Ukrainian people as they fight for their freedom.”

Among them are the longest-range missile systems (ATACMS), which the Biden administration refuses to hand over for fear that they will be used against Russian territory. * With agency data
