White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lauded House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for comments he made in support of Ukraine while traveling in Israel on Monday.

McCarthy pushed back on a Russian reporter during a press conference who had raised a question on some Republicans' negative comments about the security and humanitarian aid the Biden administration has sent to Kyiv.

MCCARTHY SHOOTS DOWN RUSSIAN REPORTER WHO QUESTIONS HIS SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE

"I vote for aid to Ukraine. I support aid to Ukraine," the House speaker said. "I do not support what your country has done to Ukraine. I do not support your killing of the children, either."

The Republican leader added that he "will continue to support" sending aid to Ukraine "because the rest of the world sees it just as it is."

"We're glad to hear that Speaker McCarthy agrees it is vital to keep supporting Ukraine. It was good to hear him push back on the propaganda put forth by Russian state news outlets," Jean-Pierre told reporters during Tuesday's press briefing.

"As we have seen, over the past year, President Biden has rallied the world to support the people of Ukraine as they defend their territory against Russian aggression. The widespread bipartisan support that we've seen in Congress for aid Ukraine has received has been critical to those efforts, and we agree that it is important for that support to continue, and we're glad to hear that coming from Speaker McCarthy, for sure," she said.
