, echoing a refrain from an oration that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivered during World War II.
Psaki, however, told reporters Tuesday that no matter how impassioned or poignant a speech Zelensky delivers to U.S. lawmakers, the Biden administration has no plans to accede to some of his larger demands, such as helping enforce a no-fly zone or providing his country with the fighter jets that Poland has offered send to a U.S. base for use in Ukraine.
“My guess is that everything he’s going to request is something we ought to be doing,” McConnell told reporters later, referring to Zelensky’s address. “And so my individual response to that would be ‘yes.’ Unfortunately, the administration keeps on dragging its heels. Even when they do the right thing, they do it too late.
Several Democrats have argued that Zelensky’s most valuable role in addressing Congress is to detail the destruction and humanitarian crisis that Russia is visiting upon his nation and to rally the American public behind his fledgling democracy rather than lobbying for any particular assistance — especially assistance that Biden has already ruled out.
