Speaker Johnson Tells Zelenskiy No Ukraine Aid Without Border Deal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy came to Congress Tuesday to appeal for more aid to resist Russia’s invasion, and Republican leaders told him to first wait for an elusive US deal on immigration.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he told Zelenskiy that Republicans “stand with him and against Putin’s brutal invasion” but won’t send more aid until Democrats accept “a transformative change” in US immigration and border policies.

Republican demands for tough measures to stem a surge in migration across the US-Mexico border have delayed new Ukraine assistance for months.
