"Zelensky and Biden Address Ukraine Aid in Joint Press Conference"

President Joe Biden reassured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the United States will not abandon Ukraine in its fight against Russia, despite opposition from Republicans to extending US war funding. Biden emphasized that a Ukrainian defeat would embolden aggressors worldwide. While Zelensky expressed cautious optimism about the restart of US aid, Republicans on Capitol Hill demanded major immigration reforms before renewing Ukraine aid and questioned the continuation of the war. Moscow dismissed the impact of US support, claiming fresh battlefield advances. As the US considers its future Ukraine policy, Poland's prime minister-designate called for full mobilization in support of Ukraine.
