In separate statements delivered on the White House South Lawn, inside the building’s East Room, and from within the US Capitol building, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky repeatedly demanded that Congress provide his regime with further arms shipments and impose more anti-Russian sanctions.
“The president of Ukraine arrived at the White House dressed like the manager of a strip club and started to demand money,” observed Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “Amazingly, no one threw him out — instead, they did whatever he wanted.”
The officials arrival came as US lawmakers weighed a hefty omnibus bill that includes $1.85 billion in new military aid for Ukraine, of which also includes the Biden administration's first delivery of the Patriot Air Defense System.
