WASHINGTON (Sputnik) -There is enough bipartisan support to continue providing assistance to Ukraine, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after a classified briefing with the US Senate.

"I came away from this very strongly convinced of the ongoing strong support that we're getting on a bipartisan basis," Blinken said as quoted by reporters on Wednesday.

In October, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy pledged that if Republicans obtain a majority in the lower chamber, Ukraine would not get a “blank check” for aid, citing concerns about a recession.
Following the statement, US President Joe Biden said he worried about the future of congressional support to continue providing aid to Ukraine.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell previously said a Republican majority in the upper chamber will focus on ensuring timely delivery of weapons to Ukraine, as well as greater allied assistance.
