Zelenskyy's plea for aid amid Ukraine's war and GOP dissent
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to visit Washington to seek renewed American aid for Ukraine's ongoing fight against Russia, as a new round of funding remains uncertain due to a potential government shutdown. Zelenskyy's agenda includes meetings with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, U.S. military officials at the Pentagon, and President Biden in the Oval Office. The war in Ukraine has entered its 20th month, and while the U.S. has been the largest donor, support for additional aid has waned among congressional lawmakers and the public. The visit comes as Zelenskyy called on the United Nations Security Council to remove Russia as a permanent member.
