Following a meeting at the White House with Democratic President Joe Biden, Zelenskyy’s speech needed to resonate with a bipartisan audience of US lawmakers, including House of Representatives Republicans, who have voiced increasing skepticism about continuing to send tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine.
Planning for Zelenskiy’s speech began in October, according to a Pelosi aide, when she met with Ruslan Stefanchuk, chairman of Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada. His timing was perfect, as Congress is on the verge of approving an additional $44.9 billion in new emergency military and economic assistance, on top of some $50 billion already sent to Ukraine this year.Daniel Fried, former US ambassador to Poland and a fellow at the Atlantic Council, said Zelenskyy’s trip demonstrated that he and Biden share a belief that the United States, despite its faults, is leader of the free world.
The optics of Zelenskyy’s welcome as a defender of democracy carried a message far deeper than military aid.
Now why would a third country be paying for your war with Russia? Does this not mean that Putin had the right to make war on Ukraine for the said reason of keeping NATO out of Ukraine?
If there’s one guy whose become a liability to US and still get it his way it’s Zelensky
He went to beg for Aid, Ukraine will never win against Russia,Only propaganda will win them the war
