"Stay united and strong", Zelensky urges Biden during White House visit

President Zelensky urged the United States to “stay united and stay strong” behind his country, warning that Ukraine will lose the war against Russia if its support from America ends.

Zelensky, who was making his second wartime visit to Capitol Hill, confronted Republican sceptics who have demanded an end to US military aid for Ukraine as the war grinds on.

Speaking in the Oval Office, Zelensky thanked Biden for America’s enduring support in Ukraine’s fight to “combat Russian terror”. He added: “I’m in Washington to strengthen our coalition to defend Ukrainian children, our families, our homes, freedom and democracy in the world.”
