Senators Weigh In on Zelenskiy's Plea for More US Aid to Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy came to Congress on 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.

The problem is, how when Russia decides to invade Ukraine they get severe backlash witch is completely different then the no backlash that the US got in Iraq. true, Russia didn't have a valid reason but compared to the war crimes committed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Gaza it isn't very severe. Why when the USA bombed villages with children it was ok?

Thank you to any member of Congress who supports Ukraine regardless of political party. Just do the right thing. Support for Ukraine is awesome. Protecting the U.S. border is also a great idea. God bless you. ✝️Get it done. Happy Holidays.🕎 Happy Christmas. 🎄🇺🇸🌻💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇸🎄

Quit helping them enough is enough. He should have joined nato 100 years ago. Help our own people. We have a major migrant issue, people living on streets. Audi g public health issues. The us is not as great as they think. Taxed out of our minds can’t afford our own bills and food or expensive housing. Quit giving shit to others take care of our own here. God I pray for the rapture, get me out of here people are expecting things they shouldn’t be.
