President Joe Biden on Friday apologized to Volodymyr Zelensky for the way hardline Republicans delayed a $61 billion package of funding for months earlier this year and promised that the U.S. would continue to stand with Ukraine in its time of need.

‘We’re still in … completely, thoroughly,’ Biden told his Ukrainian counterpart during their meeting at a Paris hotel.

Both leaders are in the French capital after Thursday’s 80th anniversary of D-Day, which proved a chance to underline international alliances against totalitarianism.

Washington is Kyiv‘s biggest supplier of weapons and cash by far at a time when Ukraine faces an intensified Russian offensive in the east. But isolationist Republicans, urged on by former President Donald Trump, have at times hamstrung efforts to get funding bills through Congress.

‘You continue to fight in a way that is just remarkable. It’s remarkable. And we’re not going to walk away from you,’ said Biden.
