Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Capitol Hill ended in disappointment as he faced skepticism from key Republicans while seeking a $61 billion aid package for his war-torn country. Despite meeting with all senators and rejecting the idea of ceding territory to Russia, Zelensky's plea was met with resistance. Amid this, a second missile assault on Kyiv injured 34 people. Regardless of the opposition, Zelensky secured a White House pledge of support. Meanwhile, President Biden warned that the delay in funding would benefit Putin.
