Speaker of the House of Representatives Johnson said that the allocation of aid to Ukraine is now "critically important" and even the threat of resignation does not frighten him in this matter. He said this on the air of the American TV channel C-SPAN.

"History judges us for what we do. Now is a critical time, a critical time on the world stage. I could have made a selfish decision and acted differently, but I'm doing what I think is right. I believe that providing aid to Ukraine is critical at this time. I really do," Johnson said.

He said he would "rather send bullets to Ukraine than American boys." He also said that his son is going to enter the Naval Academy this autumn, so he is especially worried about the situation. Because he believes in the possibility of a Russian attack on NATO.

"I really believe the intelligence and the briefings that we've been getting, that I think Xi, Vladimir Putin, and Iran are the axis of evil. I think they are coordinating their actions. I think Vladimir Putin would continue to march through Europe if he was allowed to. I think he might go to the Balkans. I think he might have a showdown with Poland or one of our NATO allies," the speaker said.
