WASHINGTON: Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelenskyy won pledges of unstinting support and air defence weapons from President Joe Biden on Thursday , but he warned that Russia could still defeat Kyiv if Republican lawmakers cut US military aid.
Sitting with Biden beneath portraits of former presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and reading prepared remarks from cards, Zelenskyy also thanked Congress for its"big, huge support". While the White House announced it would give him a"significant air defence capability", there was no deal to provide the long-range missiles that Zelenskyy covets.
Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer, a major supporter of Biden's pro-Ukraine policies, said Zelenskyy had told him"if we don't get the aid, we will lose the war". On Capitol Hill, Zelenskyy got a notably discreet welcome from the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, who is having trouble keeping a lid on internal party squabbling over US spending in Ukraine.
