Zelensky's Visit to Biden: Urgent Aid and Political Maneuvering

TL;DR Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Washington to push for additional U.S. aid for Ukraine's war effort, framing the stalled negotiations in Congress as a win for Russia. Despite increasingly bleak chances of passing an aid deal, Zelensky will meet with President Biden and lawmakers to advocate for financial assistance and emphasize the importance of defending against Russian aggression. The visit comes after Republicans blocked a $110.5 billion emergency spending bill that included aid for Ukraine. The Ukrainian president's appeals aim to secure support and prevent a potential Russian victory in the ongoing conflict.
