WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will address U.S. military officers at the National Defense University on Monday as part of a last-minute push to convince Congress to provide more money for weapons before funding runs out.

President Joe Biden has asked Congress for $61.4 billion for wartime funding for Ukraine as part of a $110 billion package that also includes money for Israel and other national security priorities. But the request is caught up in a debate over U.S. immigration policy and border security. The U.S. has already provided Ukraine $111 billion for its fight against Russia’s 2022 invasion.

On Tuesday, Zelenskyy is expected to go to Capitol Hill and to meet with Biden at the White House.

This whole war was Biden’s idea. We’ll bait Putin and destroy his military.

If taxpayers don’t get this scam....we deserve to be hosed.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Now, if there was a formal declaration of war, and they were an ally, then I could see that being legitimate meeting. However, we’re just throwing him billions of dollars and have no accountability of where any of it wet, well, 10% for the big guy

It won’t be our military by the time the democrats get done with it.

Guess why they have Trump locked in the courts to make sure their system goes into play.

B/c Zelensky desperately wants what remaining arms we still have and needs to give the US military a plausible explanation for this atrocity.

Then the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff can advise Biden and/or Congress that we need to give Ukraine more money.
