Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Washington comes as Republican leadership in the House and Senate diverge on the best way to get more aid over the finish line.
this week comes at a critical juncture for his alliance with the United States as Republican leaders in Congress diverge on how to send more military and humanitarian aid to the country.in security and humanitarian aid for Ukraine, in line with his promise to help the country for"as long as it takes" to oust Russia from its borders.
The differing approaches threaten to become a stalemate that could easily delay future rounds of American assistance to Ukraine, raising the stakes for Zelenskyy as he makes his first visit to the United States since hisat the end of 2022. In that speech, Zelenskyy thanked"every American" for support as then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat of California, and Vice President Kamala Harris dramatically unfurled a Ukrainian flag behind him.
In some ways, attaching Ukraine aid to other pressing matters could improve the odds of passing it quickly. Some lawmakers will be more inclined to vote for Ukraine assistance if it gets included with say, disaster relief for their home state. He brought in inspectors general last week to brief GOP senators on how U.S. aid is being tracked to address concerns about waste and fraud. And in one of his speeches on the Senate floor, McConnell responded to critics who say that the U.S. has borne too much of the burden on Ukraine by pointing to the assistance also flowing from European nations.
"I for one think we ought to go ahead and get it done," Tillis said."We have to get the Ukraine funding done in a time that doesn't produce a lapse, at least a perceived lapse, because I think that's a strategic win for Putin and I don't ever want Putin to have a strategic win."
