Ukraine president delivers upbeat message on war progress during second White House visit since Russian invasion

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy worked to shore up US support for Ukraine on a whirlwind visit to Washington on Thursday, delivering an upbeat message on the war’s progress while facing new questions about the flow of US dollars that for 19 months have helped keep his troops in the fight against Russian forces.

The Ukrainian leader received a far quieter reception than the hero’s welcome he was given last year from Congress, but also won generally favorable comments on the next round of US aid he says he needs to stave off defeat.

Thank god lemmy.world defederated hexbear, I don't have to hear how we're spending all that money that would otherwise never go to tax cuts for the rich.

It did? Bless. I missed that. The less hexbears and lemmygrad posters I have to see on Ukraine posts the better.

Lemmygrads are still here, but hexbears were absolutely the worst so still a big win.

Ah, that explains why it's been so much more pleasant lately.
