Ukraine president delivers upbeat message on war progress during second White House visit since Russian invasion

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy worked to shore up US support for Ukraine on a whirlwind visit to Washington on Thursday, delivering an upbeat message on the war’s progress while facing new questions about the flow of US dollars that for 19 months have helped keep his troops in the fight against Russian forces.

The Ukrainian leader received a far quieter reception than the hero’s welcome he was given last year from Congress, but also won generally favorable comments on the next round of US aid he says he needs to stave off defeat.

    I’m confused because I thought it was Russia who invaded Ukraine. What am I missing here?

    Also I agree that poor people shouldn’t be living in the streets, so perhaps we should house and feed them all.

    I’m not at all familiar with the mechanics of “golf backing.” Could you clarify what you mean by that?

      Just like Russia blew up their Nordstream pipeline…you people will believe anything your media tells you.
