TL;DR Summary

President Joe Biden announced $200 million in aid for Ukraine during President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to the United States. The aid comes as Ukraine seeks additional support amid partisan disagreements over immigration policies. Zelenskyy met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, where there is growing GOP skepticism about providing more financial and military support for Ukraine in its war against Russia. Republicans have pushed back against Biden's proposed aid package unless Democrats agree to tougher border policies. The meeting with senators did not appear to sway some Republicans who doubted U.S. interests in aiding Ukraine or insisted on changing immigration policies before considering additional aid.
