Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s case for new U.S. aid in support of the
war with Russia stalled with GOP lawmakers Tuesday. He called on the U.S. to
send a strong signal of unity during a press conference with President Biden.

WASHINGTON—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky drew a sympathetic reception
from Congress in a last-ditch trip to Washington, but he failed to break an
impasse over military aid to his country, as the funding package he pressed for
became enmeshed in U.S. domestic politics.  

Many lawmakers of both parties support the tens of billions of dollars in new
aid sought by Ukraine, which is closing out the second year of its war
against Vladimir Putin’s Russia. But House and Senate Republicans are demanding
a crackdown on migrant crossings at the southern U.S. border as a condition for
their votes, a step Democrats have rejected.
