A growing chorus of Republicans have questioned the billions of dollars Washington has sent Kyiv.
US president Joe Biden shakes hands with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in the East Room of the White House.
“Together with our partners and allies, the American people are determined to see to it to that all we can to ensure that the world stands with you,” Biden said in comments at the start of their meeting. Dressed in military green to reflect his status as a wartime leader, Zelensky briefed the full US Senate in the Capitol’s historic Old Senate Chamber, receiving several standing ovations, according to a post on the platform X by Senator Chris Murphy.
The US has sent some US$113 billion in security and humanitarian aid to help Zelensky’s government since Russia invaded in February 2022.
