Zelenskyy Fails to Sway GOP Lawmakers on More Ukraine Aid Over Border Security Concerns
-
Zelenskyy met with GOP senators and House Speaker on Tuesday, appealing for more aid for Ukraine, but failed to convince them.
-
Republicans focused demands around increased US border control rather than aid for Ukraine.
-
Senators said White House "unwillingness" to address border security has "caught up with them" in relation to Ukraine aid.
-
House Speaker Johnson cited "national security," "clarity" on strategy, and "oversight" of funds as conditions for Ukraine aid.
-
All Senate Republicans and Bernie Sanders voted last week against $110 billion White House proposal that included $61 billion for Ukraine.
