Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has wrapped up a one-day visit to Washington, where he called on the Biden administration and lawmakers to provide more military and financial aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia. It was Zelensky’s first overseas trip since the war began, and came as Russia’s war in Ukraine is about to enter its 11th month. On Wednesday evening, Zelensky addressed a joint session of Congress, thanking the U.S. for the nearly $50 billion in aid it has so far directed to Ukraine.

President Volodymyr Zelensky: “Your money is not charity. It’s an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.”
