Zelenskyy returns to Washington to face growing dissent among Republicans to US spending for Ukraine
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is visiting the US, meeting with President Joe Biden, US military leaders, and leaders of the House and Senate. Both Republicans, led by former President Donald Trump, and Democratic Senator Mark Kelly are split on the issue of sending more money overseas, with Kelly warning that cutting off aid could be catastrophic for Ukraine. The visit comes at a time when the political environment has shifted, and there is pressure from both sides of the Capitol to support Ukraine's efforts.
- House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, facing opposition from Trump-aligned Republicans, is planning a separate meeting with Zelenskyy, along with a smaller bipartisan group of lawmakers. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has urged the Biden administration to present a stronger case in support of Ukraine, emphasizing the need for Congress to provide what is necessary for Ukraine to win the war.
- Senate Republicans remain unconvinced about the need for increased spending on Ukraine, while Zelenskyy's visit aims to secure more support from the US. McConnell's call for a stronger case and the divided opinions within Congress highlight the challenges Ukraine faces in receiving the necessary aid.
