Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will arrive on Capitol Hill to a darker mood than when he swooped in last winter for a hero’s welcome, as the Russian invasion is grinding into a third year and U.S. funding hangs in balance.

Zelenskyy’s visit Tuesday comes as President Joe Biden’s request for an additional $110 billion U.S. aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other national security needs is at serious risk of collapse in Congress. Republicans are insisting on strict U.S.-Mexico border security changes that Democrats decry as draconian in exchange for the overseas aid.

“It is maddening,” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a close ally of Biden, of the stalemate. “A very bad message to the world, to the Ukrainian people.”

      Excessive cocaine consumption? You’re 30 years out of date. We’ve all moved onto opiates and meth.

          It’s literally the opposite of what the top comment said. Very likely ChatGPT.

            At best I read their post as a person using some sort of LLM to rebut your post and comment. Every other one of their comments reads as standard troll fodder while this one reads like the kind of robotic summary you get out of an LLM
