Republicans have changed the subject to an intractable domestic political dispute over clamping down on migration on the United States border with Mexico. “I said, you’ve done everything anybody could ask of you,” Mr. Graham said later, recounting his exchange with the Ukrainian president. “This is not your problem here.” Advertisement SKIP ADVERTISEMENT But it was a problem for Mr. Zelensky, whose visit to Capitol Hill and the White House failed to snap a Republican filibuster of a $110.5 billion emergency spending bill that includes $50 billion more in security aid for Ukraine. He made the case that supporting Kyiv would protect the West by preventing President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia from seizing more of Europe — only to be told by Republicans that that was beside the point. Mr. Zelensky’s visit on Tuesday to Capitol Hill was a vivid departure from his previous trips. A year ago, he was largely hailed by lawmakers as a hero. They invited him to address a joint meeting of Congress and capped off his trip by overwhelmingly approving nearly $50 billion to arm and aid his nation.
