Zelensky makes plea for US aid to Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky goes to Congress and the White House to press for more US military aid in battling the Russian invasion, but the Republican Party shows little sign of listening to his increasingly desperate pleas.

- 

For much of the nearly two years that Ukraine has resisted Russian President Vladimir Putin's onslaught, the United States has led a Western coalition sending billions of dollars in weaponry and ammunition.

But Republicans are evermore openly rejecting the need to fund Ukraine, saying that US President Joe Biden needs to devote more attention to domestic security.

The Republicans are also questioning whether Ukraine should keep fighting at all.
