Zelensky's Urgent Visit to Washington Sparks Political Storm

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Washington in an urgent effort to bolster support for Ukraine amid a growing number of Republicans vowing to reject additional aid. Zelensky met with President Biden and lawmakers to secure $24 billion in military and humanitarian aid, emphasizing the importance of the aid in Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia. While Democrats have backed the aid package, Republican hard-liners are pushing to cut off assistance, raising concerns about accountability and a lack of a winning strategy. The fate of the funding remains uncertain as Congress grapples with spending battles and a potential government shutdown.
