Campaigning for new Ukraine aid: Selenskyj with Biden and in the US Congress
On his arrival in Washington on Monday, the Ukrainian president issued an urgent warning against the expiry of US aid: delays to this aid were "dreams come true" for Russian head of state Vladimir Putin. Last week, the opposition US Republicans rejected a financial package worth 106 billion dollars (99 billion euros) presented by Biden. It includes 61.4 billion dollars in aid for Ukraine. Washington is Kiev's most important supporter in the war against the Russian invasion forces.
