Zelensky Urges U.S. Senators for Ukraine Aid Before Critical Vote

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address U.S. senators via a video call to emphasize the importance of approving emergency military aid for Ukraine. With Republican support for funding Ukraine's war effort waning and an emergency funding package stalled in Congress, the Democratic-led Senate is set to vote on Wednesday on whether to approve over $61 billion in Ukraine-focused assistance as part of a $106 billion national security package. Senator Chuck Schumer invited Zelensky to brief lawmakers, and the Ukrainian leader is expected to provide updates on the fighting and stress the urgency of maintaining American financial and military support.
