.ABC News Special Report: President Biden to address the world from Warsaw, Poland, just days ahead of the one-year mark of Russia's violent invasion of Ukraine. Watch live:
Biden echoed that while in Kyiv, a previously unannounced visit which he said showed "unwavering and unflagging commitment to Ukraine's democracy, sovereignty and territorial integrity."
"These are largely the group of eastern flank NATO allies who are basically and, quite frankly, literally on the frontlines of our collective defense right now," Kirby said. "One year later, Kyiv stands and Ukraine stands. Democracy stands," Biden said alongside Zelenskyy on Monday. "The Americans stand with you, and the world stands with you."
House Republicans, who were elected to the majority in November, have pledged to push for accountability for U.S. assistance to Ukraine, describing it as an end to a "blank check" mentality. Some in the GOP conference have pushed for a harder line to pull back on sending money and supplies, though leaders in both parties have rejected that.
Zelenskyy has said the jets could be instrumental in the fight and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said earlier this month that "nothing is off the table" and said the U.K. will begin to train Ukrainian pilots on NATO-standard aircraft.
