Zelenskyy's Washington Visit: Ukraine's Funding Crisis and Capitol Hill's Grim Mood
TL;DR
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is visiting Capitol Hill as the fate of a $110 billion US aid package for Ukraine hangs in the balance. The aid package, which includes funding for Ukraine, Israel, and other national security needs, is at risk of collapse in Congress due to Republican demands for strict US-Mexico border security changes. Zelenskyy's visit comes as the Russian invasion of Ukraine enters its third year. The White House is urging lawmakers to approve the aid package before the year-end holidays, but bipartisan support for Ukraine is slipping. Zelenskyy will meet with senators and President Joe Biden to discuss the situation.
