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.”

    Do any of you have any actual evidence to back up this assertion either way or is this thread inundated with people talking out of their assholes?

    🤔 I wonder what kind of a clever comeback you’ll offer in lieu of evidence, like you did the other guy down below.

          Sorry, once the downvote avalanche has started it does not stop.

          People will assume you’re wrong before even reading your comment.

          Anything but unwavering support for Ukraine means you’re a Russian bot. Those profiting off the MIC have deemed it necessary.

            I actually support the Ukraine war wholeheartedly but the bots have inundated the platform irrevocably, it seems.

            Those bots are often run by users seeking to curbstomp others in arguments, by the by. It’s not companies doing it. Just human nature at work.

      Evidence of what? One thing that’s clear, those always quick to ask for evidence are those that have not read much and have no other response to the point. So they make the OP do their research work for them.

        So in other words, your claim the Ukraine war is fostering American jobs is baseless and you don’t know what you’re talking about.

        Thanks for making it obvious.
