Volodymyr Zelensky pleaded with US lawmakers to maintain military support for Ukraine on Thursday, as Republicans signalled that they would try to block a new funding package put forward by Joe Biden.
The Ukrainian president addressed senators in a private meeting on Capitol Hill, warning that his country would “lose the war” without US support, before meeting the US president in the White House.
His second visit to Washington since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion comes as Ukraine attempts to push through Russian defensive lines in the south and east as part of a major counteroffensive that Kyiv says requires more armaments from the West.
But despite Mr Zelensky’s pleas for more funding, a group of Republicans in the House of Representatives opposes further US involvement in the war and has signalled they will vote down a proposed $24 billion (about £19 billion) package of fresh military and humanitarian aid.

Did you want him to wear a HOODIE and GYM SHORTS???
Maybe if he did a faggy little dance in high heels and latex Congress would be more excited.
“ just a dumping ground for cash.”
War profiteering and kickbacks to the political class. It’s what America does.
Makes it even more difficult to trust him (and I do not anyway).
Fetterman?...standards?...in the same sentence?
oh no
globohomo is threatening to lose the war
Linda Graham would be all excited and get a case of the vapors if Z-man danced for the Senate.
Get out and stop giving him money!!!
Biden was paid from Ukraine and Russia.. Millions! What did they expect in return..
It’s called money laundering.. It’s called selling out your country!
Stop this crazy corruption.. The government is being managed by persons who do not know how to do the right thing. And when done clearly wrong, there are always repercussions... It will always come back to get you!
Demented Biden says the Ukranian extortion of working class Americans is being done
“in the name of democracy.” But what kind of “democracy” is Zelensky engaged in?
<><>he ousted 7 defense officials
<><>he closed 74 churches
<><>he nationalized TV news
<><>he restricted opposition parties so that he is the only candidate.
<><>Zelensky made a thinly veiled threat if European countries dare to stop the handouts;
<><>Zelensky says curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war.
<><> this would create risks for the West in its own backyard.
<><>how would millions of Ukrainian refugees react to their country being abandoned?
<><>Zelensky says stopping the handouts would “drive these people into a corner”
<><>Zelenskyy says “Putin would come for the rest of the world” should he prevail in Ukraine.
<><>Zelensky claims climate change is a killer and the only answer is more money for Ukraine
<><>Zelensky is holding an American in a Ukrainian prison
He’d be speaking their language.
Good! This war is a proxy war directed by the deep state here in the US, and is one the worst debacles of the Biden regime.
++Good
They lost the war a long time ago.

Exactly, wars always end. If it ended today, the Ukies have absolutely no means to rebuild. Manpower is gone, military equipment consists of pick up trucks and western equipment, the 8 million that fled isn’t returning, destroyed infrastructure, cities turned to rubble, debt in the billions with very, very little revenue generation….
Destined to be a corrupted, beggar nation for a generation…..best to let Vlad have East of the Dniepner, Marioupol is a good example, rebuilt in record time, and he has unlimited resources and revenue stream to do it.
These people do not believe in a higher power IMHO.
I do not want to be anywhere near them.
This is a manufactured situation.
I’m sorry, is this the way to the Russo-American Bund rally?
👍
Maybe Ukraine should not have agreed to partner with the US to start the war back in 2014.
I couldn’t care less how Ukraine is governed.
Whether it’s a “democracy”, a dictatorship, if they bring back Boris Gudunov, or the Golden Horde.
It’s none of my business, especially while we are being invaded.
Of course he’ll lose. Russia has all the cards.
