Zelenskyy's Urgent Plea for U.S. Support Amid Funding Delays

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is making a last-ditch effort to secure more U.S. weapons and aid for Ukraine in order to counter Russia's invasion. He met with senators and gave a presentation on his country's victories in the war against Russia, addressing concerns about corruption. However, Republicans are demanding significant changes in U.S. border policies as a condition for providing aid to Ukraine. President Biden has requested over $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, but Republican support has waned. Time is running out to reach a deal as lawmakers are about to leave for the holidays, and the White House says it will run out of money to support Ukraine by the end of the month.
