Two House Republicans are facing criticism for their reaction to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s speech before a joint session of Congress.
In his first trip outside Ukraine since the war started, Zelenskyy traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with President Joe Biden and address Congress.
During his remarks, the Ukrainian leader thanked the United States for its support.
However, he asked for even more support as he said, “We have artillery, yes. Thank you. We have it. Is it enough? Honestly, not really.”
Zelenskyy noted Ukraine “never asked the American soldiers to fight on our land instead of us.” He added, “I assure you that Ukrainian soldiers can perfectly operate American tanks and planes themselves.”
He also told lawmakers, “Your money is not charity. It’s an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.”
