Ukraine’s Zelensky facing US political deadlock over aid | BBC News
Volodymyr Zelensky’s third visit to Washington on Tuesday was a last-ditch effort to win new military aid from Congress before the currently approved amount runs dry.
When Mr Zelensky came to Washington last year, the US approved a $50bn aid package that helped fuel Ukraine’s efforts to regain territory ceded at the outset of the Russian invasion.
This time around was different.
After meeting with Mr Zelensky on Tuesday morning, Republican senators were clear that, while they sympathised with Ukraine’s plight, they view the situation at the US border as a more pressing national security concern.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iranâs ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iranâs ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Speaker Mike Johnson: "These are the conditions of the American People."
No, they're not. The overwhelming majority of the American People support providing further aid to Ukraine. It is the conditions of the Putin government that you are enforcing, you treasonous bigot!

Because ukarine keeps making up excuses to cotinue the war knowing full well they have no strategy , with no air superiority, with no people, with no equipment and finances. I have came to a conclusion that they are lying and need the money for other reasons.

I have no idea why most people glorify President Zelenskyy itâs not like heâs anything special heâs not some kind of God some kind of hero heâs just a president thatâs it and I donât do that. Heâs a shit president for God sake heâs also drug taker. And I have no idea why heâs saying that he will win the war in less than a year even though itâs more than two years. Now heâs pissed off that because of the war between Israel and Palestine the attention is not on Ukraine anymore

The international news shows how clearly the West continues to support Ukrainians vying for independence. The Russians should stop meddling in their domestic affairs and allow Kyiv to vote freely according to conscience. We support America and Ukraine in struggle freedom in the Eastern Front.
