Zelensky told a joint session of Congress that 'against all odds and doom-and-gloom scenarios, Ukraine didn’t fall.'
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a statement Wednesday reaffirmed his support for Ukraine and Zelensky. “Continuing our support for Ukraine is morally right, but it is not only that. It is also a direct investment in cold, hard, American interests,” the Kentucky Republican said.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has also been reluctant to approve shipments of certain weapons Zelensky has requested, such as longer-range missiles, out of concern that could lead to escalation with Russia.to provide long-range missiles and other advanced systems requested by Ukraine. Asked why during the press conference, Biden said sending such systems would risk dividing the NATO alliance and undermining global support.
America's European allies recognize the need to support Ukraine, Biden said, "but they're not looking to go to war with Russia, they're not looking for a third world war." Biden said he has no concerns about a rupture in Western support for Ukraine heading into the new year.Prior to their meeting, Zelensky presented Biden with a military commendation that he said had come from a "real hero" — a captain in the Ukrainian military who operates a U.S.-provided HIMARS rocket launcher.to the town of Bakhmut on the front lines, but the captain said it should go to Biden for his support.
