Zelensky's strategic US visit to 'echo' Winston Churchill's 'just after the Pearl Harbor bombings'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was en route to Washington on Wednesday to meet President Joe Biden, address Congress and seek "weapons, weapons and more weapons" in his first overseas trip since Russia invaded Ukraine 300 days ago. Zelensky said the visit was aimed at strengthening Ukraine's "resilience and defence capabilities" amid repeated Russian attacks on energy and water supplies in the dead of winter.
