TL;DR Summary

President Biden has invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to meet with him at the White House, emphasizing the United States' commitment to supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russia's invasion. The invitation comes after a Democratic bill for aid to Ukraine and Israel failed to pass the Senate due to a debate over U.S. immigration policy and border security. Biden criticized GOP lawmakers for opposing the package, warning that without additional funding, Ukraine may not have the means to defeat Vladimir Putin. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a $175 million military aid package to Ukraine and urged Congress to act immediately.
