TL;DR Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Washington to plead with Congress to pass a funding package providing aid to Ukraine. Zelenskyy met with Democratic and Republican senators, emphasizing the need for aid to help Ukraine in its war against Russia. Negotiations over the aid package have hit a snag, with Republicans demanding more stringent border security measures in exchange for their support. President Joe Biden's proposed package includes $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, but Republicans want additional border security funding. The Biden administration warned that the US will run out of funding for Ukraine by the end of the year. Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with President Biden later in the day.
