Zelenskiy's Urgent Plea for Ukraine War Funds Amidst Funding Standstill
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is making a last-minute plea to U.S. lawmakers for military support as he battles Russia, seeking to replenish nearly depleted funding before meeting with President Joe Biden. Newly declassified U.S. intelligence shows that Russia believes a military deadlock through the winter will drain Western support for Ukraine, giving Russia the advantage. With just three days before Congress recesses for the year, Republicans have so far refused to pass a $106 billion supplemental bill that contains Ukraine aid without unrelated changes to U.S. immigration. Zelenskiy and Biden aides believe Putin is betting he can outlast Western aid and attention to score a major strategic victory against the West.
