President Vladimir Zelensky, during a meeting with American congressmen in the Capitol, urged them to approve additional funding for assistance to Ukraine.

This was stated after a meeting behind closed doors by Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
There was a single sentence that summed up (our conversation – ed.), and I will quote it verbatim. Zelensky said: “If we don’t get help, we’re losing the war,” Voice of America quotes Schumer as saying.
However, the head of the US House of Representatives, Trumpist Republican Kevin McCarthy, said that he has not changed his position and will not support the approval of a $24 billion aid package to Ukraine.
I am more than willing to consider this (aid to Ukraine – ed.). But I know that if President Biden focuses only on this, he will ignore the fact that 10 thousand people crossed the border,” CNN quotes McCarthy as saying about the problem in the United States with illegal migration.
At the same time, McCarthy added that he asked Zelensky a number of questions, and the conversation with him was “good” and “productive.”
After meetings in Congress, Zelensky is due to talk with Pentagon officials and go to a meeting with Joe Biden at the White House, where the US president is expected to announce a new package of US military aid.
