Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been at the White House tonight, presenting the defense for more military guide. He is supposed to get a more thoughtful hearing from President Biden than he got before in the day from the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy.McCarthy denied the Ukrainian leader a joint address to Congress, although he did meet him to discuss the $24 billion of additional aid, which is currently open to question. The Republican caucus is deeply divided over government spending, and the U.S. government is hurtling towards a shutdown in nine days. Ukraine's spending has been stripped out of McCarthy's proposals, and today, 29 Republicans signed a joint letter to the White House opposing the latest payment.



Our correspondent, Helena Humphries, is at the White House and has been following events closely. President Zelensky arrived just half an hour ago, and discussions are ongoing. The primary topic of discussion is the $24 billion in funding proposed by the Biden Administration to support Ukraine. President Zelensky has emphasized his country's need for this aid to win the war. He specifically mentioned the need for more weaponry, particularly long-range missiles to target Russian positions, especially in Crimea. While some air defense weaponry is expected to be announced, Zelensky is pushing for comprehensive support.


This meeting marks a significant contrast to President Zelensky's visit to the White House nine months ago when he received a standing ovation during a joint address to Congress and strong backing for Ukraine. This time, questions are being raised about accountability, with Speaker McCarthy demanding transparency in how the funds are used and a clearer plan for Ukraine's victory on the battlefield.

Doug High, a political expert, joins the conversation to reveal insight into the governmental issues inside the conservative council. He makes sense of that the change in help for Ukraine subsidizing is affected by the party's base, especially in essential decisions, and moderate media wariness about the Ukraine war.The flimsy moderate larger part in Congress further tangles what's going on.


Concerning's perspective, there is an inclination that President Putin could see this division inside the U.S. as an entryway.Putin could be energized by the vulnerability encompassing Ukraine's guide, and this could have suggestions for the continuous clash. Notwithstanding, the basic job of the U.S. in giving a military guide to Ukraine is highlighted, as Europe will be unable to compensate for any setbacks.

All in all, the circumstance in Congress in regard to Ukraine's guide is politically perplexing and may have critical ramifications for the continuous struggle in Ukraine.
